These studies, published in advance online in Structure and in Nature Chemical Biology, could eventually lead to the development of drugs to treat malaria and other parasitic diseases. "[It's] the first time we really understand the architectural logic behind the structure of the enzyme," says Sinisa Urban, Ph.D...
