Purification and Characterization of Native and Recombinant Dipeptidyl Aminopeptidase 1 of Plasmodium falciparum

Plasmodium falciparum dipeptidyl aminopeptidase 1 (DPAP1) contributes to the degradation of hemoglobin by releasing dipeptides from globin oligopeptides in the food vacuole. The lack of success at DPAP1 gene disruption suggests that this exopeptidase is important for efficient growth during the ery...
