摘要:

结构生物学是一门快速发展的综合性学科,可在原子水平上阐释生命分子之间的组装、相互作用和运动方式,并已逐步应用于寄生虫病研究领域。本文概述了结构生物学的基本研究方法,并以弓形虫棒状体蛋白激酶和钙调蛋白样结构域蛋白酶的结构研究进展为例,综述了结构生物学在弓形虫重要毒力相关因子和药物靶标等研究领域方面的应用和作用。

Abstract:

Structural biology is a rapidly-developing comprehensive discipline that interprets the atom-level assembling, interaction and movement between molecules. This paper summarizes basic methods in structural biology, with a focus on structure research progress of Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry and calmodulin-like domain protein kinase, to illustrate the application of structural biology in research on important virulence factors and drug targets of T. gondii.

Key words: Structural biology, Toxoplasma gondii, Crystal structure, Rhoptry kinase, Calmudulin-like domain protein kinase
