Rao S, Lakshminarayana S, Jiricek J, Kaiser M, Ritchie R, Myburgh E, et al.
Trop Med Infect Dis . 2020 Feb; 5(1). PMID: 32079320
Current anti-trypanosomal therapies suffer from problems of longer treatment duration, toxicity and inadequate efficacy, hence there is a need for safer, more efficacious and 'easy to use' oral drugs. Previously,...

ACS Omega . 2019 Feb; 3(12):17227-17235. PMID: 30775641
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze disulfide bond formation between protein cysteine residues during protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen and are essential for maintaining ER homoeostasis. The life...
