Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

DNA gyrase |
DNA gyrase is a type II DNA topoisomerase [3] and one of two enzymes of this subclass found in bacteria, the other being DNA topoisomerase 4. DNA gyrase introduces negative supercoils in closed circular double-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner. This enzyme is the clinically-validated target for a number of antibacterial drug classes, including the aminocoumarins such as novobiocin and fluoroquinolones such as moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin. |
