Kinetic characterization of squalene synthase from<em> Trypanosoma cruzi:</em> selective inhibition by quinuclidine derivatives (Publications)
The biosynthesis of sterols is a major route for the development of antitrypanosomals. Squalene synthase (SQS) catalyzes the first step committed to the biosynthesis of sterols within the isoprenoid p
Use of B-type natriuretic peptide in the management of acute dyspnea in patients with pulmonary disease (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In patients with pulmonary disease, it is often challenging to distinguish exacerbated pulmonary disease from congestive heart failure (CHF). The impact of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Critical roles of glycosylphosphatidylinositol for <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite responsible for sleeping sickness, evades the immune response of mammalian hosts and digestion in the gut of the insect vector by means of its coat proteins
A Trk/HKT-type K+ transporter from <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
The molecular mechanisms of K(+) homeostasis are only poorly understood for protozoan parasites. Trypanosoma brucei subsp. parasites, the causative agents of human sleeping sickness and nagana, are st
