Structural characterisation of the interaction between Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) and their human ligands in severe malaria
<p>Sequestration of infected erythrocytes during P. falciparum infection can lead to severe malaria. PfEMP1 proteins are central to this process. Multimodular PfEMP1 proteins can bind to a variety of human ligands due to the presence of CIDR and DBL domains. CIDR and DBL domains are classified...
