Abstract excerpt
Entamoeba histolytica is responsible for amoebic colitis and liver abscess in humans. Entamoeba dispar is a closely related, morphologically indistinguishable nonpathogenic species. The hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) isoenzyme patterns distinguish the pathogenic and nonpathogenic species. Both species possess two hexokinases with very similar molecular mass and different isoelectric...
