The life-threatening infections caused by Leptospira serovars demand the need for designing anti-leptospirosis drugs. The present study encompasses exploring inhibitors against phosphoheptose isomerase (GmhA) of Leptospira, which is vital for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis and is identified as a common drug target through the subtractive genomic approach. GmhA model was built in Modeller 9v7. Structural refinement and energy minimization of the predicted model was carried out using Maestro 9.0. The refined model reliability was assessed through Procheck, ProSA, ProQ and Profile 3D. The substrate-based virtual high-throughput screening (VHTS) in Ligand.Info Meta-Database tool generated an in-house library of 354 substrate structural analogs. Furthermore, structure-based VHTS from the in-house library with different conformations of each ligand provided 14 novel competitive inhibitors. The model together with insight gained from the VHTS would be a promising starting point for developing anti-leptospirosis competitive inhibitors targeting LPS biosynthesis pathway.

要管好一个班级,当然与班主任的管理知识、管理水平、管理能力等因素有直接关系,但同时还受着班主任潜在心理因素——心境的制约。  心境,心理学解释为一种使人整个精神活动都染上某种色彩的微弱而持久的情绪状态。班主任在实施管理,传递、输出信息的同时,总是伴随有一定的情绪,诸如愉快、忧郁、愤怒、恐惧等,这些复杂的心理情绪纵横交错,构成了班主任的心境。根据品质的不同,心境可分为良好心境和不良心境。  班主任若
