Three-dimensional structure of Plasmodium vivax AMA1 with the polymorphisms and the predicted B-cell epitopes mapped a Solvent-accessible surface representation of the active (left) and silent face (right) of the PvAMA1 three-dimensional structure. Polymorphic residues are coloured according to location: DI (cyan), DII (magenta) and DIII (orange). Hydrophobic ligand binding cleft residues are shown in dark blue. b Solvent-accessible surface representation of two opposite sides of the PvAMA1 three-dimensional structure. Residues of the linear B-cell epitopes are shown in light red. c Solvent-accessible surface representation of two opposite sides of the PvAMA1 three-dimensional structure. Polymorphic residues are shown in light blue
