Prediction of Toxoplasma gondii virulence factor ROP18 competitive inhibitors by virtual screening

Abstract Background Rhoptry protein 18 (ROP18) is a key virulence factor of Toxoplasma gondii. The host’s immune responses mediated by immune-related GTPases (IRGs) could be blocked by ROP18’s kinase activity. ROP18 also interacts with various substrates, such as activating transcription factor 6 be...
