Ergosterol is a biological precursor of Vitamin D2 found in cell membranes of fungi and some protists such as trypanosomes. Ergosterol may be used to study the function of anti-fungal drugs such as Amphotericin B and its analogues and to study the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway within various fungi.

Amphotericin B is the archetype for small molecules that form transmembrane ion channels. However, despite extensive study for more than five decades, even the most basic features of this channel structure and its contributions to the antifungal activities of this

The ability of fungi to sense environmental stressors and appropriately respond is linked to secretory system functions. The dermatophyte infection process depends on an orchestrated signaling regulation that triggers the transcription of genes responsible for adherence and penetration of the
Three extraction methods were sequentially combined to obtain fractions from Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushrooms) containing bioactive compounds against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Fruiting bodies were first extracted with plain water, obtained residue was then submitted to supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and

Rapid resolution liquid chromatography/tandem multi-stage mass spectrometry (RRLC-MS(n)) and rapid resolution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC/MS/MS) methods were developed for the identification and quantification of ergosterol and its metabolites from rat plasma, urine and faeces. Two metabolites (ERG1 and ERG2)
The genome-scale metabolic model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, first presented in 2003, was the first genome-scale network reconstruction for a eukaryotic organism. Since then continuous efforts have been made in order to improve and expand the yeast metabolic network. Here we
