THEORETICAL MODEL OF ALDOLASE FRUCTOSE 1,6 BIPHOSPHATE FROM Trypanosome brucei

Parasites from the Trypanosomatidae family cause different illnesses in human and animals. Drugs currently in use against them have limited efficacy and high toxicity, therefore is very important that scientists continue their efforts to look for new targets for the treatment of these diseases.
