Crystal Structures of T. b. rhodesiense Adenosine Kinase Complexed with Inhibitor and Activator: Implications for Catalysis and Hyperactivation

Recently, we discovered that 4-[5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-2H-pyrazol-3-yl]morpholine (compound 1) and its derivatives exhibit specific antitrypanosomal activity toward T. b. rhodesiense, the causative agent of the acute form of HAT. We found that compound 1 would target the parasite adenosine kinase (TbrA...
