Enzymes of the L-methionine biosynthetic pathway as novel molecular targets for antifungal chemotherapy
The project contains a proposal of interdisciplinary studies aimed at evaluation of molecular basis for rational design of antifungals targeting selected enzymes of the L-methionine biosynthetic pathway (MBP) in human pathogenic fungi. The main research hypothesis is that particular enzymes of the MBP could be exploited as molecular targets for antifungals

Antifungal Effect of Penicillamine Due to the Selective Targeting of L-Homoserine O-Acetyltransferase
PublicationDue to the apparent similarity of fungal and mammalian metabolic pathways, the number of established antifungal targets is low, and the identification of novel ones is highly desirable. The results of our studies, presented in this work, indicate that the fungal biosynthetic pathway of L-methionine, an amino acid essential for humans, seems to be an attractive perspective. The MET2 gene from Candida albicans encoding L-homoserine...
