Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine this enzyme is an attractive target for drug development, because the order of inhibition of the enzyme by a number of bisphosphonates is the same as that for inhibition of parasite growth. This enzyme as a valid target for the chemotherapy of toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma gondii
