Computational analysis of binding between malarial dihydrofolate reductases and anti-folates

Background: <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> readily develops resistance to the anti-folates pyrimethamine and proguanil via a characteristic set of mutations in the dihydrofolate reductase (PfDHFR) gene that leads to reduced competitive drug binding at the enzyme's active site. Analo...
