Proud to be part of this great collaborative effort on antiplasmodial peptide design led by @NicoleLscientst @IMBatUQ and @McmorranBrendan @JCSMR out now in #ACSInfectiousDiseases! 💪
Cyclic peptides derived from PF4 can be tuned to enhance selective killing of malaria parasites, a step towards developing novel antimalarials. @NicoleLscientst @IMBatUQ/ @Malins_Lab @ANUChemistry/ @McmorranBrendan @JCSMR. #ACSInfectiousDiseases go.acs.org/asU
