Red blood cell invasion by Plasmodium vivax: structural basis for DBP engagement of DARC.
Plasmodium parasites use specialized ligands which bind to red blood cell (RBC) receptors during invasion. Defining the mechanism of receptor recognition is essential for the design of interventions against malaria. Here, we present the structural basis for Duffy antigen (DARC) engagement by P. viva...
