Biochemical and biophysical characterization of Plasmodium falciparum glucose regulated protein 170
The Plasmodium falciparum endoplasmic reticulum resident PfGrp170 (PfHsp70-y) has not been well characterized. It is an essential protein for parasite survival. Therefore, this study optimized the conditions for its overexpression in an E. coli system and investigated the structure-functional features of Grp170 protein. We report the complete coding sequence of the protein we synthesized for this study.
