The Plasmodium falciparum MSP-1 antigen, as a model for pseudopeptide and peptido-mimetic designing. A. MSP-1 proteolytic processing to produces a non-covalent complex on the parasite membrane surface during malarial infection of RBCs. B. MSP-142–61 N-terminus HABP coded 1513 template sequence, for isoster bond and D-partially substituted analogue design. C. MSP-138–58 template sequence and its designed isoster bond analogues. MSP-11282–1301 C-terminus sequence HABP coded 1585 template sequence, for isoster bond and D-partially substituted analogue design. Codes for each pseudopeptide were arbitrary assigned to avoid using nomenclature for L- and D- enantiomers. ψ-[CH2NH] represents a reduced amide isoster bond.
