Genetic and chemical evaluation of Trypanosoma brucei oleate desaturase as a candidate drug target.

<h4>Background</h4>Trypanosomes can synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids. Previously, we have shown that they possess stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and oleate desaturase (OD) to convert stearate (C18) into oleate (C18:1) and linoleate (C18:2), respectively. Here we examine if OD is ess...
