Deciphering the metabolism of Plasmodium falciparum
Scientists are exploring the key proteins and metabolic pathways in Plasmodium falciparum to develop new drugs to prevent malaria. Pink block arrows indicate the steps inhibited by antimalarial drugs within the mitochondrion, cytosol, and food vacuole, and grey block arrows highlight potential drug targets.
