Abstract excerpt
Malaria, an ancient mosquito-borne illness caused by Plasmodium parasites, is mostly treated with Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT). However, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) mutations in the P. falciparum Kelch 13 (PfK13) protein have been associated with artemisinin resistance (ART-R). Therefore, this study aims to generate PfK13 recombinant proteins incorporating of two specific SNPs mutations,...
