ApicoAP: the first computational model for identifying apicoplast-targeted proteins in multiple species of Apicomplexa.
Most of the parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa contain a relict prokaryotic-derived plastid called the apicoplast. This organelle is important not only for the survival of the parasite, but its unique properties make it an ideal drug target. The majority of apicoplast-associated proteins are nuclea...
