    • A computer-based approach for developing linamarase inhibitory agents 

      Paul, Lucas; Mudogo, Celestin; Mtei, Kelvin; Machunda, Revocatus; Ntie-Kang, Fidele (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2020-04-18)
      Cassava is a strategic crop, especially for developing countries. However, the presence of cyanogenic compounds in cassava products limits the proper nutrients utilization. Due to the poor availability of structure discovery ...

    • Structural characterization of cassava linamarase-linamarin enzyme complex: an integrated computational approach 

      Paul, Lucas; Shadrack, Daniel; Mudogo, Celestin; Mtei, Kelvin; Machunda, Revocatus; Ntie‐Kang, Fidele (Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-05-21)
      Cassava linamarase is a hydrolyzing enzyme that belongs to a glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1). It is responsible for breaking down linamarin to toxic cyanide. The enzyme provides a defensive mechanism for plants against ...
