Abstract excerpt
Fungal infections frequently affect immunodeficient individuals and are estimated to kill 1.35 million people per annum. Azole antifungals target the membrane-bound cytochrome P450 monooxygenase lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51; Erg11p). Mutations in CYP51 can render the widely used triazole drugs less effective. The Candida albicans CYP51 mutation G464S and the double mutation Y132F G464S (Y140F and G464S by...
