Characterisation of sterol biosynthesis and validation of 14α-demethylase as a drug target in Acanthamoeba
Abstract The soil amoebae Acanthamoeba causes Acanthamoeba keratitis, a severe sight-threatening infection of the eye and the almost universally fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. More effective treatments are required. Sterol biosynthesis has been effectively targeted in numerous fungi using...
