High impact information on gnd

  • Enzymes from the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) are potential drug targets for the development of new drugs against Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping disease: for instance, the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is currently studied actively for such purposes [1].
  • Over-generated NADPH by the amplified gnd gene tended to depress the cell growth and PHB concentration [2].
