Exploring the activity of the putative Δ6-desaturase and its role in bloodstream form life-cycle transitions in Trypanosoma brucei.
Trypanosomatids have been shown to possess an exclusive and finely regulated biosynthetic pathway for de novo synthesis of fatty acids (FAs) and particularly of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The key enzymes for the process of unsaturation are known as desaturases. In this work, we explored th...
