Zusammenfassung: | The invention provides screening methods for detecting and identifying compounds that bind to fungal specific target proteins and nucleic acids, as well as compounds which, upon binding or otherwise interacting with the target protein, can inhibit fungal growth, a method of preventing or inhibiting fungal growth in culture, a method of preventing or inhibiting fungal growth in a mammal and a method of studying pathogenic mycetes using such nucleic acid and/or protein sequences. Particularly preferred is the inhibition of the fungus Candida albicans. |
