91ÌÒÉ« uses NMR and X-ray crystallography to reveal the mechanism of Candida infectivity

91ÌÒÉ«ers lead by Dr Ernesto Cota-Segura in the Division of Molecular Biosciences have elucidated the apparent molecular basis for the broad tissue specificity of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.  The research, , uses NMR and X-ray crystallography to reveal the mechanism by which Als fungal adhesion proteins can bind an unusually wide range of host receptors.  A general overview can also be found on the .
