Variable Surface Glycoprotein from <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> Undergoes Cleavage by Matrix Metalloproteinases: An in silico Approach
In order to survive as extracellular parasites in the mammalian host environment, <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> has developed efficient mechanisms of immune system evasion, which include the abundant expression of a variable surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat. VSGs are anchored in the parasite...
