Funded Activity Summary

Structure, dynamics and interactions of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein-2. The solution structure of the merozoite surface protein-2 (MSP-2), from Plasmodium falciparum the causative agent of malaria, will be determined along with an analysis of the motions of residues within the protein. This will allow insights into interactions occurring at the surface coat of the organism, where MSP-2 is a major component. An understanding of how this protein interacts with antibodies of the host's immune system will also be gained. The techniques established during the study of MSP-2 will be useful for the study of larger proteins and protein complexes from many systems in the future.
