A rapid detection for the inhibition of phosphoglucose isomerase from Escherichia coli by mercury(II) chloride based on TLC-autographic analysis – preliminary studies
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
The quest for new techniques for screening inhibitors of phosphoglucose isomerase is crucially important owing to therapeutic control of chronic bacterial infections associated with the biosynthesis of bacterial biofilm. According to the new method, yellowish zones against the purple background could be visually observed where phosphoglucose isomerase activity was inhibited. The new protocol with NADPH/NBT/PMS staining for TLC-autographic method was able to detect PGI inhibition by pure reference substance as mercury(II) chloride.
