Abstract
Q38FZ4 (UniProt accession number), is an 85-residue hypothetical protein from Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei). Q38FZ4, which might be specific among the trypanosomatid genomes, shares low sequence similarity with mammal proteins and also has an essential function in the growth of T. brucei. Here we report the resonance assignments and secondary structure analysis of Q38FZ4 from T. brucei, which will lay the foundation for the protein structure determination and function elucidation.
