Grant Activity:
Structural biology of malaria parasite invasion and antibodies-mediated inhibition
Purpose:
Malaria results in significant mortality but an effective vaccine does not yet exist. The Rh5-CyRPA-Ripr complex is essential for malaria parasite to invade erythrocytes and is the leading vaccine candidate. We aim to visualise the atomic details of the Rh5-CyRPA-Ripr complex during parasite invasion of erythrocytes and how antibodies neutralise this key protein complex. This information will advance knowledge on malaria parasite invasion, which will help to design an effective malaria vaccine.
