S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (PfAdoMetDC) of the malaria parasite, P. falciparum, is a component of the unique bifunctional PfAdoMetDC-ODC (S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase-ornithine decarboxylase) controlling the biosynthesis of essential polyamines, making it a potential antimalarial drug target [5][6]. Here, ODC1 is linked to malaria.
