The structural basis of unique substrate recognition by Plasmodium thymidylate kinase: Molecular dynamics simulation and inhibitory studies.
Plasmodium falciparum thymidylate kinase (PfTMK) showed structural and catalytic distinctions from the host enzyme rendering it a hopeful antiprotozoal drug target. Despite the comprehensive enzymologic, structural, inhibitory and chemical synthesis approaches targeting this enzyme, the elucidation...
