To predict potential inhibitors of alpha-enolase to reduce plasminogen binding of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) that may lead as an orally active drug. S. pneumoniae remains dominant in causing invasive diseases. Fibrinolytic pathway is a critical factor of S. pneumoniae to invade and progression of disease in the host body. Besides the low mass on the cell surface, alpha-enolase possesses significant plasminogen binding among all exposed proteins.
