The mechanism underpinning chloroquine drug resistance in the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum has remained controversial. Currently considered models to explain the resistance phenotype include acquisition of a chloroquine efflux pump, changes in intracellular chloroquine partitioning, diminished binding affinity of chloroquine to its intracellular target, heme, and changes in heme crystallization....
