Deskripsi

The development of antimalarials against the human liver and asexual blood stages is one of the top public health challenges. Here, the authors report a single-step biochemical assay for the characterization of prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors, and develop high-affinity inhibitors for the enzyme, including elusive triple-site ligands.
