01
Overview
Protein synthesis in *Plasmodium falciparum* is a critical biological process that enables the malaria parasite to grow, replicate, and adapt within its human host. This process involves unique adaptations in the parasite’s translational machinery, ribosome structure, and mRNA surveillance pathways to efficiently translate its highly AT-rich genome. Several components involved in protein synthesis, such as methionyl-tRNA synthetases and protein export machinery, are validated drug targets. Disruption of this process impairs parasite development and survival.
