Table 1 Specificity pockets defined by interactions with sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra) drugs in three-dimensional computer models of the M.tb dimer, M.tb monomer and crystal structure complexes of human phosphodiesterase 5 enzyme

From: Three-dimensional models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins Rv1555, Rv1554 and their docking analyses with sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil drugs, suggest interference with quinol binding likely to affect protein’s function
