Disulfide linkages in Plasmodium falciparum plasmepsin-i are essential elements for its processing activity and multi-milligram recombinant production yield.
Plasmodium falciparum plasmepsin-I (PM-I) has been considered a potential drug target for the parasite that causes fatal malaria in human. Determination of PM-I structures for rational design of its inhibitors is hindered by the difficulty in obtaining large quantity of soluble enzyme. Nearly all at...
