Phylogenetic profiles of all membrane transport proteins of the malaria parasite highlight new drug targets
2 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
In order to combat the on-going malaria epidemic, discovery of new drug targets remains vital. Proteins that are essential to survival and specific to malaria parasites are key candidates. To survive within host cells, the parasites need to acquire nutrients and dispose of waste products across multiple membranes. Additionally, like all eukaryotes, they must redistribute ions and organic molecules between their...
