Pyrimidine biosynthesis presents an attractive drug target in malaria parasites due to the absence of a pyrimidine salvage pathway. A set of compounds designed to inhibit the Plasmodium falciparum pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) was synthesized. PfDHODH-specific inhibitors with

The interactions between proteins and biological membranes are important for drug development, but remain notoriously refractory to structural investigation. We combine non-denaturing mass spectrometry (MS) with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to unravel the connections among co-factor, lipid, and inhibitor binding
Bioaccumulative environmental estrogen, nonylphenol (NP; 4-nonylphenol), is widely used as a nonionic surfactant and can affect human health. Since genomes of
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHOD) from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcDHOD) is a member of family 1A DHOD that catalyzes the oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate (first half-reaction) and then the reduction of fumarate to succinate (second half-reaction) in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis

The deep-sea tube worm Riftia pachyptila (Vestimentifera) from hydrothermal vents lives in an intimate symbiosis with a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium. That involves specific interactions and obligatory metabolic exchanges between the two organisms. In this work, we analyzed the contribution of the
