New study unveils the mechanisms of 3 inhibitors to an important human drug metabolizing enzyme
Researchers from the Structural and Molecular Biology research group at UCIBIO-FCT NOVA, have just published a new study describing a new crystal structure of the complex human aldehyde oxidase and its most potent inhibitor raloxifene, widely used in biochemical assays. This structure elucidates the unusual substrate-dependent mechanism of inhibition with potential impact on drug–drug interactions.
UCIBIO has been awarded 13 fellowships in the call "Verão com Ciência 2021"
“Verão com Ciência” is a special support launched by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) to provide special support for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units with a view to enhancing scientific and technological capacity and its relationship with higher education and society.
