 Project objective

Trichomoniasis, caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas spp., is the most common, non-viral, sexually transmitted infection in the world. Only two closely related antibiotic drugs are approved for its treatment. The accelerating emergence of resistance to current antibiotics and no alternative treatment options pose an increasing threat to public health, resulting in an urgent need for novel effective anti-parasitic compounds. This project focuses on Trichomonas proteasome that is an underexploited enzyme critical for parasite survival. In this proposal, the proteasome will be functionally and structurally characterized. The substrate specificity of each subunit will be determined and fluorescent substrates that can monitor activity of each subunit will be designed. Libraries of proteasome inhibitors will be screened and hit compounds will be analyzed in co-crystallization studies with Tv proteasome. Ultimately, biochemical and structural data will be used to rationally design inhibitors for treatment of trichomoniasis.

Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "PROTECT" project.

For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.

Send me an  email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.

Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
