We propose a theoretical model for pfDHFR-TS, which includes the 55 aminoacid residues ignored in the crystallographic model. The electrostatic potential calculation on the model surface revealed a continuous positive potential region between the two active sites, suggesting an optimized - mechanism for dihydrofolate transport.
