‘DEAD-box’ helicase from Plasmodium falciparum is active at wide pH and is schizont stage-specific

Background & objectives: DNA helicases catalyse unwinding of duplex DNA in an ATP-dependentmanner and are involved in all the basic genetic processes. In order to study these important enzymesin the human malaria parasite we have recently cloned the first full-length ‘DEAD-box’ helicasegene from...
