Exploring nature¡¯s silent pharmacy

Penicillin, 바카라사이트 first antibiotic, was derived from fungi in 1941, and 바카라사이트 organisms have continued to be an important source of antimicrobial drugs ever since. This project will use contemporary technology to revisit old compounds in 바카라사이트 hope of discovering new benefits that might have been missed first time around. Cutting-edge computing methods will allow researchers to sequence 바카라사이트 entire genome of a fungus, which was not possible before with traditional drug discovery methods. This could point researchers to a wide range of undiscovered natural compounds that, if bioactive, could lead to much-needed new types of antibiotics.
