Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PfK13 protein mutations are associated with the emergence of artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum. PfK13 protein is essential for mediating ubiquitination and controlling the PI3K/AKT pathway. Mutant PfK13 variations can interfere with substrate binding, especially with PfPI3K, which raises PfPI3K levels. METHODS: DUET, DynaMut2, mCSM, iStable 2.0, I-Mutant 2.0, and MuPro were utilized to...
