Structure of AMA1 from <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> reveals a clustering of polymorphisms that surround a conserved hydrophobic pocket
29 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is a leading malaria vaccine candidate that possesses polymorphisms that may pose a problem for a vaccine based on this antigen. Knowledge of the distribution of the polymorphic sites on the surface of AMA1 is necessary to obtain a detailed understanding of their significance for vaccine development. For this reason we have sought to determine the three-dimensional structure of...
