Peptide derivatives specific for a Plasmodium falciparum proteinase inhibit the human erythrocyte invasion by merozoites

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00114a011

A specific proteinase of P. falciparum merozoites has been detected by using hydrosoluble fluorogenic peptidic substrates synthesized by classical peptide chemistry; their N-terminal end was acylated by a gluconoyl group that protects them from aminopepti
