Deskripsi
Glycolytic enzymes are challenging drug targets due to their highly conserved active sites and phosphorylated substrates. Here, the authors identify fast acting allosteric inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei phosphofructokinase that block trypanosome glycolysis and provide cure evidence in murine model.
