Purifying and Characterizing Bacterially Expressed Soluble Lactate Dehydrogenase from <i>Plasmodium knowlesi</i> for the Development of Anti-Malarial Drugs

Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLH) is one of the enzymes in glycolysis with potential target for chemotherapy. This study aimed to clone, overexpress and characterize soluble recombinant lactate dehydrogenase from <i>Plasmodium knowlesi</i> in a bacterial system. Synthetic <i>P...
