Fumarate hydratases catalyze the stereospecific reversible hydration of fumarate to S-malate. The project aims to elucidate the mechanism of action of fumarate hydratase from Leishmania major by site directed mutagenesis, single crystal x-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance. Leishmania is a parasite that causes Leishmaniases, classified as neglected tropical deseases and t…
Leishmaniases, classified as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD), are caused by different species of the parasite Leishmania and affect 12 million people worldwide. Fumarate hydratase (FH) catalyzes the stereospecific reversible hydration/dehydration of fumarate to S-malate. Eukaryotes express two isoforms of FH: the mitochondrial isoform (FH-1) that is well known to participate in the tric…
Fumarate hydratases catalyze the stereospecific reversible hydration of fumarate to S-malate. This project aims to determine the 3-dimensional structure of two fumarate hydratases from Leishmania major by single crystal x-ray diffraction. Leishmania is a parasite that causes Leishmaniases, classified as neglected tropical deseases and threatening 350 million people around the world. Recen…
