Insilico Interaction Of Selected Terpenoids Against Oral Biofilm (Streptococcus Mutans) Drug Targets.
Keywords:
Insilico, iGemdock, terpenoids.Abstract
Aim: The aim is to analyse the In Silico interaction of selected terpenoids against streptococcus mutans drug targets.
Materials And Methods: • Retrieval of protein using ligand structure.
- Molecular docking using
Results: From this study it is evident that docking is significant in Neptalactone. It has the highest fitness (-48.4), lowest VDW (-32.02), and H bond equal to standard inhibitor (- 16.33).
Conclusion: The compound Neptalactone with the highest docking score is most efficient in blocking biofilm formation when compared to other compounds.
