I hope that this will make an improvement in malaria treatment.

There are a number of "Kinase" enzymes all of which are in fact composed of protein. Use of the term kinase as if it were some specific and new found protein is incorrect. One can only hope the remainder of the article is more accurate with regard to the biochemistry / physiology involved.


Kinase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dihydroxyacetone kinase in complex with a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog (AMP-PNP). Coordinates from PDB ID:1UN9.[1]
In biochemistry, a kinase is a type of enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates. This process is known as phosphorylation when the substrate gains a phosphate group and the high energy molecule of ATP donates a phosphate group (producing a phosphorylated substrate and ADP). Conversely, it is referred to as dephosphorylation when the phosphorylated substrate donates a phosphate group and ADP gains a phosphate group (producing a dephosphorylated substrate and the high energy molecule of ATP). These two processes, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, occur four times during glycolysis.[2][3][4] Kinases are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. Kinases are not to be confused with phosphorylases, which catalyze the addition of inorganic phosphate groups to an acceptor, nor with phosphatases, which remove phosphate groups. The phosphorylation state of a molecule, whether it be a protein, lipid, or carbohydrate, can affect its activity, reactivity, and its ability to bind other molecules. Therefore, kinases are critical in metabolism, cell signalling, protein regulation, cellular transport, secretory processes, and many other cellular pathways.
