Abstract excerpt
A major problem in chemotherapeutic treatment of many pathological conditions including cancer and fungal infections is the development of a multidrug-resistant state in the target cell. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells can be isolated that have single genetic alterations that cause the resulting mutant strains to become tolerant of a wide range of compounds that would otherwise be toxic. These mutant cells are...
