Double drugging of prolyl-tRNA synthetase provides a new paradigm for anti-infective drug development.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii and in immunocompromised patients it may lead to seizures, encephalitis or death. The conserved enzyme prolyl-tRNA synthetase (PRS) is a validated druggable target in Toxoplasma gondii but the traditional 'single target-single drug' approach has...
