Conformational variability in the D2 loop of Plasmodium Apical Membrane antigen 1

Conformational variability in the D2 loop of Plasmodium Apical Membrane antigen 1

Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA1) plays a vital role in the invasion of the host erythrocyte by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium. It is thus an important target for vaccine and anti-malaria therapeutic strategies that block the invasion process. AMA1, present on the surface of the parasite, interacts...
