The C. albicans Hsp90 and Hsp21 protein sequences were retrieved from the Candida Genome Database (CGD). Human sHsp and Hsp90 protein sequences were retrieved from the UniProt database. Sequences were aligned and analysed for percentage identity using the Clustal W method in the DNASTAR Lasergene MegAlign sequence analysis software.
