Elucidating the path to Plasmodium prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors that overcome halofuginone resistance

The development of antimalarials against the human liver and asexual blood stages is one of the top public health challenges. Here, the authors report a single-step biochemical assay for the characterization of prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors, and develop high-affinity inhibitors for the enzyme, i...
