Lipid metabolism in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei membranes consist of all major eukaryotic glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid classes. These are de novo synthesized from precursors obtained either from the host or from catabolised endocytosed lipids. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in the molecular and biochemical characterisation of several of these lipid ...

Resolving Trypanosoma brucei Flagellar Structure by Cryo-Electron Tomography [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei is a unicellular eukaryote that can cause human African trypanosomiasis, which has continued to evolve and spread. The key feature of these parasites is that they have a flagellum consists of a typical 9 + 2 axoneme and a lattice-like ...

Trypanosoma brucei methylthioadenosine phosphorylase protects the parasite from the antitrypanosomal effect of deoxyadenosine [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness for which no vaccine exists and available treatments are of limited use due to their high toxicity or lack of efficacy. T.

We have evaluated whether sequence polymorphisms in the rRNA intergenic spacer region can be used to study the relatedness of two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei. Thirteen T. brucei isolates made up of 6 T. b. brucei and 7 T. b. gambiense were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

Golgi-associated phosphohydrolases in Trypanosoma brucei brucei
Various parasitic protozoa of the family Trypanosomatidae such as Crithidia spp. [1]; Trypanosoma cruzi [2]; Leishmania donovani [3] and salivarian trypanosomes [4-8] have been shown to contain acid phosphatase activity (EC.3.1.3.2, orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase activity).

The Antiprotozoal Activity of Papua New Guinea Propolis and Its Triterpenes
Profiling a propolis sample from Papua New Guinea (PNG) using high-resolution mass spectrometry indicated that it contained several triterpenoids. Further fractionation by column chromatography and medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) followed by
