Abstract

Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) catalyses the reversible isomerization of fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and mannose-6-phosphate (M6P). Absence of PMI activity in yeasts causes cell lysis and thus the enzyme is a potential target for inhibition and may be a route to antifungal drugs. The 1.7 A crystal structure of PMI from Candida albicans shows that the enzyme has three distinct domains. The active site lies in the central domain, contains a single essential zinc atom, and forms a deep, open cavity of suitable dimensions to contain M6P or F6P The central domain is flanked by a helical domain on one side and a jelly-roll like domain on the other.

Candidiasis (ASM)

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
