Fig 1. Structure of the variable region of the Plasmodium falciparum msp2 gene showing block 2, 3, and 4.

Fig 1

FC27 and 3D7-like structures were presented in the upper and lower panels, respectively. Amino acid (aa.) lengths of each block are indicated. Block 3 consist of 2 different repeat units (R1 and R2), which were separated by a non repeat region (NR). For 3D7-like sequences, R1 had Glycine (G), Serine (S), and Alanine (A) enriched sequences, while R2 featured Threonine (T) repeats.
