      "The protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis contains two nearly identical triosephosphate isomerases (TvTIMs) that dissociate into stable monomers and dimerize upon substrate binding. Herein, we compare the role of the ...
    • Self-association of enolase from Trichomonas vaginalis. monomers, dimers, and octamers coexist in solution 

      Mirasol Meléndez, Elibeth; Lima Muñoz, Enrique Jaime; Lara, Víctor Hugo; Brieba de Castro, Luis Gabriel; Lara González, Samuel; Benítez Cardoza, Claudia Guadalupe (American Chemical Society, 2018)
      "We used small-angle X-ray scattering to study the self-association of enolase from Trichomonas vaginalis as a function of the protein concentration and cosolute type. We observed coexisting monomers, dimers, and octamers ...
    • The sole DNA ligase in entamoeba histolytica is a high-fidelity DNA ligase involved in DNA damage repair
