Abstract
Phytochemicals from Pandanus odorifer plant extract can cure Boils. It is caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that Octadecanedioic acid can effectively deactivate the shikimate dehydrogenase enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.
Keywords: Phytochemical, Pandanus odorifer, Staphylococcus aureus, Shikimate dehydrogenase.
