Abstract: Although β-d-galactofuranosidases (Galf-ases) that hydrolyze β-d-galactofuranose (Galf)-containing oligosaccharides have been characterized in various organisms, to date no Galf-specific Galf-ase-encoding genes have been reported in Aspergillus fungi. Based on the amino acid sequences of previously identified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.0c01434
Abstract: We applied the transition path sampling (TPS) method to study the translocation step of the catalytic mechanism of galactofuranosyl transferase 2 (GlfT2). Using TPS in the field of enzymatic reactions is still relatively rare, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules27020411
Abstract: Chagas disease (CD) can be accurately diagnosed by detecting Trypanosoma cruzi in patients’ blood using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, parasite-derived biomarkers are of great interest for the serological diagnosis and early evaluation of chemotherapeutic… read more here.
