Computational Perspectives into Plasmepsins Structure—Function Relationship: Implications to Inhibitors Design

The development of efficient and selective antimalariais remains a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. The aspartic proteases plasmepsins, whose inhibition leads to parasite death, are classified as targets for the design of potent drugs. Combinatorial synthesis is currently being used to gen...
