Genetic and genomic approaches for the discovery of parasite genes involved in antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]

, 2013
The biggest threat to the war on malaria is the continued evolution of drug resistance by the parasite. Resistance to almost all currently available antimalarials now exists in Plasmodium falciparum which causes the most suffering among all human malaria

The IQ‐compete assay for measuring mitochondrial protein import efficiencies in living yeast cells

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 1, Page 48-62, January 2026.
The efficiency of mitochondrial protein import depends on the properties of the newly synthesized precursor proteins. The Import and de‐Quenching Competition (IQ‐compete) assay is a novel method to monitor the import efficiency of different proteins by fluorescence in living yeast cells.

INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF SOME MARINE SPONGE EXTRACTS FROM URABÁ GULF ON DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE ENZYME

Vitae, 2009
Dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme involved in the production of pyrimidinic base timidin, a structural component of DNA, therefore whatever substance that inhibit this enzyme inhibit the DNA synthesis as a consequence and it can be potentially useful ...

Varying efficacy of artesunate+amodiaquine and artesunate+sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a report of two in-vivo studies [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Very few data on anti-malarial efficacy are available from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). DRC changed its anti-malarial treatment policy to amodiaquine (AQ) and artesunate (AS) in 2005.

Structure-based design and synthesis of antiparasitic pyrrolopyrimidines targeting pteridine reductase 1 [PDF]

, 2014
The treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis remains a major unmet health need in sub-Saharan Africa. Approaches involving new molecular targets are important and pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1), an enzyme that reduces dihydrobiopterin in Trypanosoma spp.

A Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia Mouse Shows Wide‐Ranging Biochemical Consequences of Elevated Glycine, Reduced Folate One‐Carbon Charging, and Serine Deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonketotic hyperglycinemia is a severe neonatal epileptic encephalopathy caused by deficient glycine cleavage enzyme activity, for which currently no effective treatment exists. Incomplete understanding of brain biochemistry represents a major knowledge gap to develop new treatments.

Knockout of dihydrofolate reductase in mice induces hypertension and abdominal aortic aneurysm via mitochondrial dysfunction

Redox Biology, 2019
Hypertension and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are severe cardiovascular diseases with incompletely defined molecular mechanisms. In the current study we generated dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) knockout mice for the first time to examine its potential

Loss of unstably amplified dihydrofolate reductase genes from mouse cells is greatly accelerated by hydroxyurea [PDF]

, 1983
Previous work has shown that mammalian cells that carry unstably amplified genes for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gradually lose the amplified DHFR genes when grown in the absence of the DHFR inhibitor methotrexate (MTX). Unstably amplified genes occur
