Exploring <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> CYP51 and Its Cognate Reductase as a Drug Target

Exploring <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> CYP51 and Its Cognate Reductase as a Drug Target

<i>Cryptococcus</i> remains a leading cause of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised people. Resistance to azole drugs has imposed a further challenge to the effective treatment of such infections. In this study, the functional expression of full-length hexahistidine-tagged <...
