Abstract excerpt
The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is a promising new antifungal target that is readily probed with the sulfhydryl-reactive reagent omeprazole. Inhibition of the H(+)-ATPase by omeprazole is closely linked to cell killing, and it has been suggested that enzyme inhibition may result from a covalent interaction within the first two transmembrane segments (M1 and M2) (Monk et al. (1995) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1239,...
