Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) is a ubiquitous enzyme, which appeared early in
evolution. TIM is responsible for obtaining net ATP from glycolysis and producing an extra …

Despite significant effort, the role played by quaternary structure in enzymes often remains
poorly understood. The (β/α) 8-barrel fold is a versatile scaffold that has been employed in a …

Research on Giardia lamblia has accumulated large information about its molecular cell
biology and infection biology. However, giardiasis is still one of the commonest parasitic …

Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) catalyzes the interconversion of glyceraldehyde-3-
phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Photosynthetic organisms generally contain two …

Mitochondria from plants, yeast, and animals each contain at least one peroxiredoxin (Prx)
that is involved in peroxide detoxification and redox signalling. The supramolecular …

Giardiasis, the infestation of the intestinal tract by Giardia lamblia, is one of the most
prevalent parasitosis worldwide. Even though effective therapies exist for it, the problems …

Giardiasis, the most prevalent intestinal parasitosis in humans, is caused by Giardia lamblia.
Current drug therapies have adverse effects on the host, and resistant strains against these …

Giardiasis is highly prevalent in the developing world, and treatment failures with the
standard drugs are common. This work deals with the proposal of omeprazole as a novel …

An empirical observation suggests that Giardia lamblia proteins have larger cysteine content
than their counterparts in other organisms. As this parasite lacks conventional antioxidant …

Fresh aqueous extracts (AGEs) and several thioallyl compounds (TACs) from garlic have an
important antimicrobial activity that likely involves their interaction with exposed thiol groups …
