NADH dehydrogenase as a molecular target for artemisinin related antimalarian drug screening in a yeast model / Ummul Hanan Mohamad
Artemisinin is currently the only effective drug against malaria. However, artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium had begun to emerge in many malaria endemic areas. Discovery of new anti-malarial with artemisinin-like activity had been slow as the molecular target of artemisinin was yet to be established....
