4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Accurate Light Field Depth Estimation Using Multi-Orientation Partial Angular Coherence

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Occlusion is a critical issue that affects the accuracy for light field depth estimation. In the presence of occlusions, the photo-consistency property is broken, making ambiguity near occlusion areas.
