摘要

SecA ATPase plays a crucial role in translocation of membrane and secreted polypeptides and proteins in bacteria and therefore a perfect target for novel antimicrobial drug design. Herein, we generated QSAR models with an alignment-independent method. The optimum model obtained for the training set was statistically significant with cross-validation regression coefficient (q(2)) value of 0.40 and correlation coefficient (r(2)) value of 0.89. These results suggest that this 3D-QSAR model can be used to guide the development of new SecA inhibitors.
