Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Malaria parasites increasingly develop resistance to all drugs available in the market, hampering the goal of reducing malaria burden. Methods: Herein, we evaluated the impact of a single-nucleotide variant, E738K, present in the 26S proteasome regulatory subunit rpn2 gene, identified in Plasmodium chabaudi resistant parasites. Plasmids carrying a functional rpn2 interspecies chimeric gene with 5'...
