Abstract excerpt
Hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransference (HGXPRT), a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway of the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), catalyses the conversion of hypoxanthine, guanine, and xanthine to their corresponding mononucleotides; IMP, GMP, and XMP, respectively. Out of the five active site loops (I, II, III, III', and IV) in PfHGXPRT, loop III' facilitates the closure of the...
