Identification of novel hit molecules targeting M. tuberculosis polyketide synthase 13 by combining generative AI and physics-based methods.

In this work we investigated the Pks13-TE domain, which plays a critical role in the viability of the mycobacteria. In this report, we have used a series of AI and Physics-based tools to identify Pks13-TE inhibitors. The Reinvent 4, pKCSM, KDeep, and SwissADME are AI-ML-based tools.
