Abstract:Background The emergence of artemisinin-resistant malaria parasite highlights the need for novel drugs and their targets. Alkylation in purine bases can hinder DNA replication if remained unsolved would eventually resulting in cell death. DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase is an enzyme responsible for the repair of those alkylated lesions. Based on the AT-rich genome of Plasmodium falciparum and unexplored Plasmodium falciparum DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase (PfMAG), therefore PfMAG should be characterized for i… Show more
