Tóm tắt

Leishmania donovani cofilin displays low sequence similarity to other mammalian cofilins and also possesses characteristic activity of its own. Determination of its solution structure would facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanism of actin dynamics regulation in this disease causing pathogen.
