Abstract
The goal of the research is to develop chemical inhibitors that selectively block specific metalloproteases. We will be doing this by developing an activity assay (which we are currently doing now), design, synthesize and test inhibitors against metalloproteases, target inhibitors in P. Falciparum, and analyze phenotypes. We are currently making assay in order to start testing them and seeing which assay work best.
