General Information

General Information Comment Organism
drug target the enzyme is a potential drug target for antifungal drug discovery for a number of reasons. First, it shows several structural differences compared to its human counterpart. These include the Ca-loop, as well as significant shifts in the location of helices and strands. The structural differences can form potential binding sites for allosteric inhibitors. Second, the fact the CaTMPK can utilize dGMP as a substrate suggests that competitive inhibitors that resemble purine nucleosides may preferentially bind to CaTMPK versus the human enzyme Candida albicans
