摘要
(Graph Presented) Thymidylate synthases from pathogenic organisms: Sequence analysis and knowledge-based grouping have provided a step forward in the identification of potential drug target regions in thymidylate synthases. This provides a unique approach toward blocking the growth of pathogenic organisms. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
