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.
