Structural basis of malaria parasite phenylalanine tRNA-synthetase inhibition by bicyclic azetidines

Bicyclic azetidine inhibitors are promising antimalarials that target the Plasmodium cytosolic phenylalanine tRNAsynthetase (cFRS). Here, Sharma et al. provide the biochemical and structural basis of its mechanism using co-crystal structure of PvcFRS with BRD1389.
