Fungal research breakthrough to benefit human and animal health
Dr Ozgur Bayram and Dr Ozlem Sarikaya-Bayram have unearthed a novel protein complex, methyltransferase, which could be used to tackle fungal toxins which attack immune-deficient humans, and similar toxins that destroy 10% of the annual global food harvest, enough food to feed the entire African continent.
“The protein complex we discovered can be used in the study of similar protein complexes, and used to help develop drugs to target other fungal growth,” said Dr Bayram.
