Bixa orellana L. Derived Phytochemicals against Alcohol Dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT

Phytochemicals from Bixa orellana L.plant extract are traditionally used to cure Jaundice. It is caused by Escherichia coli. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that benzoic acid can effectively deactivate the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism
