Abstract
Phytochemicals from Beet Root (Beta vulgaris) plant extract are traditionally used to cure Diarrhea. It is caused by Escherichia coli. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that caffeic acid can effectively deactivate the Shikimate dehydrogenase enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.
