Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
DNA gyrase and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are two essential bacterial enzymes involved in DNA replication, transcription and translation. Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites with variable phenolic structures. In this study, eight flavonoids structurally similar to quercetin were selected and their ADMET properties were evaluated. Molecular docking and free energy calculations were carried out to examine the binding of these flavonoids to the ATP-binding site and editing domain of DNA gyrase and Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, respectively. Taxifolin was found out to be the top lead molecule in both the docking studies with a good number of interactions with the active site amino acids. Further, binding of taxifolin to the proteins was extensively studied using 50 ns molecular dynamics simulation. In vitro anti-tuberculosis activity of taxifolin was evaluated and compared with the standard drugs. Minimal inhibition concentration of taxifolin was found to be ≤ 12.5 μg/ml.
