In recent years, WHO has warned against the major occurrence of bacterial resistance as a global public health problem. As such, the search for new enzymatic targets and the development of new antibacterials targeting them selectively is therefore an imperative challenge. The discovery of a new enzyme among the family of thymidylate synthases by Myllykallio’s team in 2002 and its study has made it a prime target for the design of new antibacterials by its sole presence in pathogenic bacteria, its structural dissimilarity with the classical thymidylate synthase enzyme and its singular mechanism involving a pair of oxido-reducingcofactors (NADPH / FAD).This manuscript, divided into three main parts, is initially interested in the metallocatal...
