Plasmodium falciparum PM X LC-MSMS

Plasmepsin X (PM X) is an aspartate protease expressed in the malaria parasie Plasmodium falciparum. Following synthesis PM X undergoes proteolytic processing. This project aims to understand the significance of PM X processing. To identify the cleavage sites, the processed PM X bands were excised from gels and subjected to LC-MSMS.
