The protein kinase CK2 catalytic domain from Plasmodium falciparum: crystal structure, tyrosine kinase activity and inhibition

Abstract Malaria causes every year over half-a-million deaths. The emergence of parasites resistant to available treatments makes the identification of new targets and their inhibitors an urgent task for the development of novel anti-malaria drugs. Protein kinase CK2 is an evolutionary-conserved euk...
