Receptor–ligand and parasite protein–protein interactions in Plasmodium vivax: Analysing rhoptry neck proteins 2 and 4

Elucidating receptor–ligand and protein–protein interactions represents an attractive alternative for designing effective Plasmodium vivax control methods. This article describes the ability of P. vivax rhoptry neck proteins 2 and 4 (RON2 and RON4) to bind to human reticulocytes. Biochemical and cel...
