Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain (Protozoa) (MRC)

Target
MRC
Molecular classification
Enzyme Complex, Membrane Protein Complex
01

Overview

The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) is a central metabolic pathway in protozoan parasites essential for ATP production. It consists of several protein complexes (I-IV) and mobile electron carriers. Apicomplexan parasites like *Plasmodium* spp. exhibit unique MRC features, making it a valid antiparasitic drug target.
