SUMMARY: Discovery of a relict chloroplast (the apicoplast) in malarial parasites presented new opportunities for drug development. The apicoplast — although no longer photosynthetic —
CONTEXT: ...of the malaria parasite's distant photosynthetic ancestry. Plastids are derived from the endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria, and the apicoplast is no exception. Importantly,...
