Popis: The chaperone Hsp90 is a potential target for the development of drugs against fungal pathogens. Here the authors determine the structure of the Hsp90 nucleotide-binding domain from Candida albicans, which they use to design an inhibitor and demonstrate its selectivity for the fungal enzyme, both biochemically and in cells.
