ABSTRACT
The myosin tail domain interacting protein-myosin A (MTIP-MyoA) protein complex is an essential element of the motor driving invasion of red blood cells by the Plasmodium species that cause malaria. Here we report the key determinants of binding at the MTIP/MyoA interface, and the first structural study on the complex in solution using protein NMR.
