The Ionic and hydrophobic interactions are required for the auto activation of cysteine proteases of Plasmodium falciparum.
The Plasmodium falciparum cysteine proteases falcipain-2 and falcipain-3 are major hemoglobinases and potential antimalarial drug targets. Our previous studies demonstrated that these enzymes are equipped with specific domains for specific functions. Structural and functional analysis of falcipains...
