Inhibition of falcilysin from Plasmodium falciparum by interference with its closed-to-open dynamic transition

In the absence of an efficacious vaccine, chemotherapy remains crucial to prevent and treat malaria. Given its key role in haemoglobin degradation, falcilysin constitutes an attractive target.
