The airborne fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is a major pathogen that poses a serious health threat to humans by causing aspergillosis. Azole antifungals inhibit sterol 14-demethylase (encoded by cyp51A), an enzyme crucial for fungal cell survival. However, the most common mechanism of azole resistance in A.

Intracellular drug metabolism involves transport, bioactivation, conjugation, and other biochemical steps. The dynamics of these steps are each dependent on a number of other cellular factors that can ultimately lead to unexpected behavior. In this review, we discuss the confounding processes and coupled reactions within bioactivation networks that require a systems-level perspective in order to fully understand the time-varying behavior.

Oxime drugs translocate through the 20 Å active-site gorge of acetylcholinesterase in order to liberate the enzyme from organophosphorus compounds' (such as tabun) conjugation. Here we report bidirectional steered molecular dynamics simulations of oxime drug (Ortho-7) translocation through the gorge of tabun intoxicated enzyme, in which time dependent external forces accelerate the translocation event. The simulations reveal the participation of drug-enzyme hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and water bridges between them.

Human ovarian cancer cells specifically bind the isoflavone daidzein. A chemical conjugate between daidzein and the garlic enzyme alliinase was prepared. The conjugate specifically bound to ovarian cancer cells and upon addition of the prodrug alliin, it effectively produced cytotoxic allicin molecules which killed the cancer cells.
