Abstract excerpt
Patterns of multiple amino acid substitutions in the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT, UniProtKB Q8IBZ9) have previously been shown to mediate chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum malarial parasites. Recent reports suggest that novel mutations in PfCRT may mediate resistance to piperaquine (PPQ), which is used extensively as a partner drug in one prominent artemisinin combination...
