• SMolBNet 2.0: determination of three-dimensional structure of protease inhibitors and anti-hemostatic molecules identified in haematophagous animals, vectors of diseases, AP.R

• Abstract

  The cocoa crop is one of the most prominent agro-industrial activities and an important source of sustainable income for developing countries belonging to the tropical region of the world. It is, nonetheless, also susceptible to a whole variety of pests that can cause serious problems for the pod production, such as fungi, insects, viruses and others. In fact, up to 30 % of world's produc…

  SMOLBnet 2.0: structural studies of key proteins for fungal diseases in cocoa: witch’s broom and moniliasis: developing strategies to control and understand the pathogenicity, AP.R

• Abstract

  Many laboratories in the last 20 years, tried to identify proteins, on the surfase of Trypanosoma cruzi, which are involved in celular invasion. Conclusions from these works present a multistep process relating different molecules, both from the host and from the parasite, in a serie of events that produces movilization of Ca2+ in both cells. This project establish a colaboration between …
