title: Parasitic protozoa: thiol-based redox metabolism.
abstract: In a thoughtful and stimulating article, Sylke Müller et al. describe the thiol-based redox metabolism of protozoan parasites and believe that the key enzymes involved in this metabolism have potential use as new drug targets. Additional information on this subject is provided here.
