Characterisation of the bifunctional dihydrofolate synthase–folylpolyglutamate synthase from Plasmodium falciparum; a potential novel target for antimalarial antifolate inhibition

Unusually for a eukaryote, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum expresses dihydrofolate synthase (DHFS) and folylpolyglutamate synthase (FPGS) as a single bifunctional protein. The two activities contribute to the essential pathway of folate biosynthesis and modification. The DHFS activity of...
