Identification of novel peptide inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase ( Pf DHFR): molecular docking and MD simulation studies

The presence of drug-resistant variants of Plasmodium parasites within the population has presented a substantial obstacle to the eradication of Malaria. As a result, numerous research groups have directed their efforts towards creating new medication candidates that specifically target parasites. In this study, our main objective was to identify tri-peptide inhibitors for
