The Ionophores CCCP and Gramicidin but Not Nigericin Inhibit <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> Aquaglyceroporins at Neutral pH
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is caused by <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> parasites. The <i>T. brucei</i> aquaglyceroporin isoform 2, TbAQP2, has been linked to the uptake of pentamidine. Negative membrane potentials and transmembrane pH gradients were suggested to promote t...
