A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Self-organizing Neural Networks for Modeling Robust 3D and 4D QSAR: Application to Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors

Molecules, 2004
We have used SOM and grid 3D and 4D QSAR schemes for modeling the activity of a series of dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors. Careful analysis of the performance and external predictivities proves that this method can provide an efficient inhibition ...

Identification of Novel Potential Inhibitors of Pteridine Reductase 1 in Trypanosoma brucei via Computational Structure-Based Approaches and in Vitro Inhibition Assays

Molecules, 2019
Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) is a trypanosomatid multifunctional enzyme that provides a mechanism for escape of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibition. This is because PTR1 can reduce pterins and folates.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel N 4 -substituted sulfonamides: acetamides derivatives as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors

BMC Chemistry, 2019
Background Sulfonamide derivatives are of great attention due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. Sulfonamides conjugated with acetamide fragments exhibit antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The inhibition dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)

Affinity chromatography of dihydrofolate reductase [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1971
1. Dihydrofolate reductase was purified from Lactobacillus casei MTX/R, and studied on affinity columns containing folic acid and methotrexate. Two forms of the enzyme were interconverted by incubation with substrates. 2. Affinity columns were prepared from agarose activated with cyanogen bromide and coupled with 1,6-diaminohexane.

A Two-Enzyme Adaptive Unit within Bacterial Folate Metabolism

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Enzyme function and evolution are influenced by the larger context of a metabolic pathway. Deleterious mutations or perturbations in one enzyme can often be compensated by mutations to others.
