This book describes the role of heat shock proteins in the life cycle of malaria parasites. The work includes a general introduction to the structural and functional features of heat shock proteins.
-
The main focus is on the role of heat shock protein families from Plasmodium falciparum, their role in protein folding and in the development of malaria pathology. The functions of individual families of heat shock proteins from plasmodium species and their cooperation in functional networks are described. Subcellular and extracellular organelles such as the apicoplast and the Maurer's Clefts which are associated with Plasmodium species are discussed in detail.
-
The role of heat shock proteins in the development and function of these organelles structures is highlighted. Although conceding that heat shock proteins may not be ideal antimalarial drug targets, prospects of targeting heat shock proteins in antimalarial drug discovery either directly and/or in combination therapies are explored.

Verified PurchaseI am a first year student pursuing MBBS. I am really grateful to medioks for being student oriented. I was looking for a book but I couldn't find it anywhere in the market. The high demand of the book made it very costly to afford online but when I found it on medioks, I was so happy to get? the original book at a reasonable cost.
