Computational analysis of missense mutations in squalene epoxidase associated with terbinafine resistance in clinically reported dermatophytes
28 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Dermatophyte infections, as a significant public health threats, are increasingly associated with antifungal drug resistance, particularly to terbinafine. Mutations in the squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene have been linked to resistance by altering amino acid residues and interfering with drug-protein interactions. This study applied computational tools including I-Mutant, ConSurf, HOPE, DynaMut2, STRING, and...
