TI  - Structure of Trypanosoma cruzi glycosomal glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
      dehydrogenase complexed with chalepin, a natural product inhibitor, at 1.95 A
      resolution.
PG  - 13-7
AB  - The structure of the glycosomal glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gGAPDH)
      from Trypanosoma cruzi complexed with chalepin, a natural product from Pilocarpus
      spicatus, has been determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.95 A resolution. The 
      structure is in the apo form without cofactors in the subunits of the tetrameric 
      gGAPDH in the asymmetric unit. Unequivocal density corresponding to the inhibitor
      was clearly identified in one monomer. The final refined model of the complex
      shows extensive conformational changes when compared with the native structure.
      The mode of binding of chalepin to gGAPDH and its implications for inhibitor
      design are discussed.
