Activating Compound | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
mastoparan | stimulates GTP binding in the presence of Mg2+ and guanine nucleotide exchange, mastoparan mimics the GPCR mode of action | Plasmodium falciparum | |
Sodium fluoride | stimulates of guanine nucleotide exchange, based on the formation of a fluoroaluminate complex which can pass the membrane and occupy the position next to bound GDP and thus stimulates an active state conformation | Plasmodium falciparum |
