Insights into the role of the Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte binding protein RH1 in merozoite invasion.
The most serious form of malaria in humans is caused by the parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Studies have shown that this parasite recognizes erythrocytes for invasion by binding to receptors on the erythrocyte surface. Other than the availability of receptors, ATP has been shown to be an important...
