Abstract
The mitochondrion in parasitic protozoans is a clinically proven drug target. A specialized ribosome (mitoribosome) is required to translate genes encoded on the mitochondrial (mt) DNA. Despite the significance, little is known about mitoribosomes in many medically and economically important unicellular protozoans.Entities:
