Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...

Development of a high-throughput label-free method for enrichment of antimetabolite-resistant yeast strains using pico-litre agarose beads [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Antimetabolites, which are structural analogues of metabolites or carbon sources that exhibit toxicity by disrupting metabolism, can couple phenotypes of interest to growth and thereby facilitate the selection of relevant strains from large mutant pools ...
