- Authors
Kåhrström, Christina Tobin
- Abstract
The article discusses research on the importance of PK4 activity for Plasmodium's development. It references the study "PK4, a eukaryotic initiation factor 2α(elF2α) kinase, is essential for the development of the erythrocytic cycle of Plasmodium," by M. Zhang and colleagues in the February 21, 2012 issue of "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America." It identifies PK4 as the next generation's novel target of antimalarial compounds.
