Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Plasmodium falciparum gene kelch13 (pfkelch13) are strongly and causally associated with resistance to anti-malarial drug artemisinin, but their effects on PfKelch13 structure and function remain unclear. Utilizing the publicly available three-dimensional structure of PfKech13 (PDB ID: 4yy8), we find that most of the mutations in its propeller domain occur in two spatial clusters. Of these, one...
