Structural models for the protein family characterized by gamete surface protein Pfs230 of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

Abstract excerpt

Ps230 is the largest representative of a 10-member family of proteins found in all Plasmodium species. The family is defined by partially conserved, cysteine-rich double domains that are approximately 350 aa in length and have one to three predicted disulfide bridges in each half. In Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous human malaria, Pf12 is the smallest member of the family, comprising just one double...
