Targeting Group I Introns with Small Molecules: Unlocking a New Antifungal Mechanism Through RNA Targeting 3:45 pm
• Identifying self-splicing Group I introns as a novel RNA target in human-pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans, highlighting a unique RNA-targeting mechanism distinct from existing antifungal drugs • Developing small molecule inhibitors through FRET-based high-throughput screening, followed by structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis and mechanistic insights guided by cryo-EM structural data • Demonstrating potent…Read more
