Description |
Burkholderia mallei are gram negative bacteria and are evolved as
obligate parasite of horses, mules, and donkeys with no other known natural
reservoir. B.mallei is regarded as a potential biological weapon because it is
highly infectious as an aerosol and results in a disease that is painful,
incapacitating, difficult to diagnose, and often fatal (Ref.1 & 2).
Glutathione is a tripeptide present in B. mallei sp., which is composed
of Glutamate, Cysteine and Glycine, and has numerous important functions within
cells. The tripeptide is the thiol compound, present in the highest
concentration in all types of cells.
Glutathione metabolism in B.
mallei involves both the synthesis of Glutathione and its catabolism.
Glutathione biosynthesis starts from an L-Amino acid, which in presence [...] |
