This protocol was also shown to be effective for DNA extraction from Mycobacterium tuberculosis present in stool [21].
Structural alignments revealed a high level of similarity between the structure of PncA from M. tuberculosis presented in this report and the two crystal structures of PncA from P. horikoshii and A. baumanii (rmsds of 0.96 Å and 2.8 Å for 1IM5 and 2WT9, respectively).
