Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for obtaining structural information of molecules in solution at low concentrations.While commercial SERS substrates are available, high costs prevent their wide-spread use in the medical field.One solution is to prepare requisite noble metal nanostructures exploiting natural nanost

Gliding motility allows malaria parasites to migrate and invade tissues and cells in different hosts.It requires parasite surface proteins to provide attachment to host cells and OLIVE extracellular matrices.Here, we identify the Plasmodium protein LIMP (the name refers to a gliding phenotype in the sporozoite arising from epitope tagging of the en
