Application of target repositioning and in silico screening to exploit fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) from Echinococcus multilocularis as possible drug targets

Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design, 2020
Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are small intracellular proteins that reversibly bind fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. In cestodes, due to their inability to synthesise fatty acids and cholesterol de novo, FABPs, together with other lipid ...
