Abstract excerpt

Dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) from Plasmodium falciparum, a validated target for antifolate antimalarials, is a dimeric enzyme with interdomain interactions significantly mediated by the junction region as well as the Plasmodium-specific additional sequences (inserts) in the DHFR domain. The X-ray structures of both the wild-type and mutant enzymes associated with drug resistance, in...
