'''Crystal structure of Native Pvs25, an ookinete protein from Plasmodium vivax.'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
P25 and P28 proteins are essential for Plasmodium parasites to infect, mosquitoes and are leading candidates for a transmission-blocking malaria, vaccine. The Plasmodium vivax P25 is a triangular prism that could tile, the parasite surface. The residues forming the triangle are conserved in, P25 and P28 from all Plasmodium species. A cocrystal structure shows that, a transmission-blocking antibody uses only its heavy chain to bind Pvs25, at a vertex of the triangle.
