Our work group focuses on the study of the biochemical pathways of amino acids in trypanosomatids, among them Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. This project aims to generate biological data to unravel interconnections between metabolic pathways that are not obviously connected. For this, the metabolic fluxes of different strains of Trypanosoma cruzi, which have d…
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Amino acids participate of several biological processes in T. cruzi, beyond their obvious role as constituents of proteins, such as differentiation, mammalian host-cells invasion, cell cycle regulation and resistence to different types of stresses. We already found in the T. cruzi genome the presence of ORFs enconding enzymes ass…
