Consequently, this enzyme emerges as a promising target for developing novel antibacterial drugs. However, no antibiotics were reported for this target, especially active against Staphylococcus aureus thymidylate kinase.\u0000Methods: Benzylidene acetamide-based ligands were examined for their potency using the in silico method. These novel ligand structures were built using ChemDraw software. The protein was retrieved from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) website. The molecular docking and binding free energy calculation by prime Molecular Mechanics in Generalized Bond Surface Area (MM-GBSA) was performed for selected ligands.

Solutions were prepared using deuterium-depleted water (DDW–\"light\" water, D/H=4 ppm), natural deionized high-ohmic water (BD, D/H=140 ppm), and heavy water (99.9% D2O; Sigma-Aldrich). Optical activity was measured using the Atago POL-1/2 polarimeter.\u0000Results: One of the components in the racemic medication mixture can act as an inert agent, exhibit toxicity, or undergo undesirable biotransformation mechanisms, resulting in the formation of products with unknown properties. It has been established that a change in the deuterium/protium (D/H) ratio in water leads to a change in the equilibrium and kinetic characteristics of optically active compounds across various chemical classes, such as amino acids, carboxylic acids, and carbohydrates. An inequality was observed in the absolute values of the optical rotation of the L-and D-isomers of valine and galactose, depending on the D/H isotope ratio. The impact of chiral water clusters on optical rotation accounts for the sudden shift in the specific rotation of dilute solutions (less than 0.5%) of L-ascorbic acid in water, based on the D/H ratio. The influence of the isotopic composition of water was confirmed by studying the temperature-dependent mutarotation kinetics of D-glucose and L-and D-galactose in Arrhenius coordinates.\u0000The mutarotation process in natural high-resistivity water is characterized by an activation energy (Ea) of 40.8±1.4 kJ mol-1, while in deuterium-depleted water, Ea = 63.6±3.5 kJ mol-1. This results in a kinetic isotope effect for deuterium (KIED) of 1.6.\u0000Conclusion: Methodological approaches have been developed to control chiral switching based on the isotopic composition of water in vivo and in vitro.
