Structural Differences in Triosephosphate Isomerase from Different Species and Discovery of a Multitrypanosomatid Inhibitor
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
We examined the interfaces of homodimeric triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from eight different species. The crystal structures of the enzymes showed that a portion of the interface is markedly similar in TIMs from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTIM), Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania mexicana and significantly different from that of TIMs from human, yeast, chicken, Plasmodium falciparum, and Entamoeba histolytica. Since...
