Acetyl-CoA-mediated activation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isocitrate lyase 2 (2019)
Journal Article
Reynisson. (2019). Acetyl-CoA-mediated activation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isocitrate lyase 2. Nature communications, 4639 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12614-7

Isocitrate lyase is important for lipid utilisation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis but its ICL2 isoform is poorly understood. Here we report that binding of the lipid metabolites acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA to ICL2 induces a striking structural rearra...

Antifungal screening and in silico mechanistic studies of an in-house azole library (2019)
Journal Article
Reynisson. (2019). Antifungal screening and in silico mechanistic studies of an in-house azole library. Chemical Biology & Drug Design, https://doi.org/10.1111/cbdd.13587

Systemic Candida infections pose a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. C. albicans is the major pathogen identified in candidiasis, however non-albicans Candida spp. with antifungal resistance are now more prevalent. Azol...
