PvGAMA reticulocyte binding activity: predicting conserved functional regions by natural selection analysis

Abstract Background Adhesin proteins are used by Plasmodium parasites to bind and invade target cells. Hence, characterising molecules that participate in reticulocyte interaction is key to understanding the molecular basis of Plasmodium vivax invasion. This study focused on predicting functionally...
