We are in the process of construct an ODE model of the trypanothione pathway. As input we will use newly determined and existing kinetic data and measured metabolite concentrations at the boundaries (from WP3&6). Recently the glycolysis model was extended with the pentose phosphate pathway. This pathway will yield the NAPDH that maintains trypanothione in a reduced state. For some complex enzymes (i.e trypanothione synthase) we are intensively discussing the kinetic data obtained on the isolated enzyme to formulate a biologically relevant rate equation

The SilicoTryp project aims at the creation of a “Silicon Trypanosome”, a comprehensive, experiment-based, multi-scale mathematical model of trypanosome physiology. Trypanosomes are blood-stream parasites transmitted by tsetse flies; they cause African sleeping sickness in humans and livestock. Currently available drugs have severe side effects, and the parasites are rapidly developing resistance. In this project, we collect a wide range of new experimental data on the parasite in its various ...

Aim. Constructing a predictive, dynamic model of the redox metabolism of trypanosomes. Aided by this model we will quantify the impact of gene-expression and metabolic regulation on redox metabolism. The model will be constructed in an iterative cycle of experimentation – modelling – analysis – experimentation, such that it can be extended and refined based on new experimental insights.
