Figure 2
Nucleotide and protein sequences of LSA-3 from P. falciparum clinical isolates. The nucleotide sequence of the codons from the reference strain 3D7 with the positions of mutated bases in bold are shown on top. The mutated codons for each clinical isolates are shown below. Sequences corresponding to the repeated sequences I (LSA-3667-834), II (LSA-3835-1758) and III (LSA-33910-4047) are omitted and represented by three dots. The corresponding amino acid changes resulting from non-synonymous mutations are shown below amino acid residues found in the reference strain 3D7. Identical codons and amino acid residues are represented by hyphens. del denotes a deletion of a codon and the corresponding amino acid.
