1,3-β-Glucan serves as the primary component of the fungal cell wall and is produced by 1,3-β-glucan synthase located in the plasma membrane. This synthase is a molecular target for antifungal drugs such as echinocandins and the triterpenoid ibrexafungerp. In this study, we present the ...

1. Introduction Virus is a filterable vector and is sub-microscopic, with most animal viruses physically ranging in size from 20 to 200 nm in diameter [1]. As is well-known, about 60% of epidemic infectious diseases are caused by viruses and viral infections have always been a worldwide ...

β-1,3 glucans arrange in fibrils to form a trabecular scaffold in the inner oocyst wall layer (Bushkin et al., 2012). This process appears to involve a glucan synthase that locates to the inner layer in E. tenella oocyst wall. However it is currently unknown how such sugar polymers ...
