Proteomic analysis of Trypanosoma cruzi response to ionizing radiation stress.

Proteomic analysis of Trypanosoma cruzi response to ionizing radiation stress.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, is extremely resistant to ionizing radiation, enduring up to 1.5 kGy of gamma rays. Ionizing radiation can damage the DNA molecule both directly, resulting in double-strand breaks, and indirectly, as a consequence of reactive oxygen species p...
