Advances in targeting the vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) for anti-fungal therapy

Vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) is a membrane-bound, multi-subunit enzyme that uses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump protons across membranes. V-ATPase activity is critical for pH homeostasis and organelle acidification as well as for generation of the membrane potential that dri...
