In this issue of Structure, Gihaz and colleagues develop antifungal compounds targeting fungal pantothenate kinase (PanK). Through utilization of high-throughput chemical screening, along with biochemical and functional analyses and newly solved fungal PanK crystal structures, high-affinity inhibitors are produced, and invaluable insights into the mechanisms of fungal PanK are gained.
本期《结构》中,Gihaz 及其同事开发了针对真菌泛酸激酶(PanK)的抗真菌化合物。通过利用高通量化学筛选,以及生化和功能分析以及新解决的真菌 PanK 晶体结构,产生了高亲和力的抑制剂,并深入了解了真菌 PanK 的作用机制。
