... CRISPR genetics malaria Plasmodium falciparum Members of the phylum Apicomplexa are unicellular parasites that cause many important livestock and human diseases including malaria and toxoplasmosis [ 1 , 2 ]. Plasmodium parasites are the causative agents of malaria and infect a wide range...

... simulate effects of drug-induced inhibition of reaction steps on the whole-body physiology. We illustrate the approach for glucose metabolism in malaria patients, by merging two detailed kinetic models for glucose metabolism in the parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the human red blood cell with a coarse...

..., activity and membrane binding. Proteome-scale discovery on Plasmodium falciparum schizonts has revealed a complement of more than 400 palmitoylated proteins, including those essential for host invasion and drug resistance. The wide regulatory affect on this species is endorsed by the presence of 12...

... dehydrogenase (GAPDH) Plasmodium falciparum Trichomonas vaginalis Trypanosoma brucei A classic association of reductive evolution with the adaptation to obligate parasitism is evident to a greater or lesser degree in all parasitic protists studied to date. For instance, the loss of common...

...Srabasti J. Chakravorty; Katie R. Hughes; Alister G. Craig Cytoadherence of PRBCs ( Plasmodium falciparum -infected red blood cells) to host endothelium has been associated with pathology in severe malaria, but, despite extensive information on the primary processes involved in the adhesive...

...S. Günther; P.J. McMillan; L.J.M. Wallace; S. Müller The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum possesses a single mitochondrion and a plastid-like organelle called the apicoplast. Both organelles contain members of the KADH (α-keto acid dehydrogenase) complexes – multienzyme complexes...
