Cloning, expression, purification and drug targeting of Plasmodium falciparum hypoxanthine guanine xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRT)

Includes bibliographical references. === The research concerns sub-cloning the gene for HGXPRT from Plasmodium falciparum from a vector with a His-tag facility to one without, expression of the protein in E. coli, and purification. On an analytical scale (40 ml culture), a purification procedure was...
