Theoretical Study of Sphingomyelinases from <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> and <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> Sheds Light on the Evolution of Enzymes Needed for Survival and Colonization

The path to survival for pathogenic organisms is not straightforward. Pathogens require a set of enzymes for tissue damage generation and to obtain nourishment, as well as a toolbox full of alternatives to bypass host defense mechanisms. Our group has shown that the parasitic protist <i>Entamo...
