Tuberculostearic acid is a methyl transferase enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl methionine to an erythrocyte membrane protein. This reaction is important in the synthesis of DNA and RNA and is a potential biomarker for chronic pulmonary infections. Tuberculostearic acid has been found in samples from HIV-positive patients with chronic pulmonary infections, suggesting that it may be a diagnostic marker for this type of infection. Structural analysis of tuberculostearic acid has shown that the enzyme contains dinucleotide phosphate and two nitrogen atoms, which are essential for catalysis. The presence of these elements suggests that the enzyme may be useful in diagnosing infectious diseases such as tuberculosis or hiv infection.
