Objective: The objective of this study was to use the molecular fractionation with conjugate caps (MFCC) method to elucidate the possible interaction mechanism of anacardic acid (AA) with the saturated alkyl chain (AA0) in the Trypanosoma cruzi glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (TcGAPHD) enzyme. Methods: Initially, the geometry optimization of the AA three-dimensional structure (with the pentadecyl chain...
