Did you know the #apicoplast of #Plasmodium falciparum has a problem in decoding methionine and isoleucine codons unless it modifies the #tRNA posttranscriptionally? Read to know the story from the Prigge Lab Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute and Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at JHSPH 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Really happy to share that Kade Loveridge's paper on how #malaria parasites acquire iron is accepted at PNASNews Stay tuned for final version soon. parasitesrule #mpm2024 UofUtah.CIHD U of Utah Dept of Biochemistry doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
