Mechanistic basis for multidrug resistance and collateral drug sensitivity conferred to the malaria parasite by polymorphisms in PfMDR1 and PfCRT

Polymorphisms in the Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance protein 1 (pfmdr1) gene and the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (pfcrt) gene alter the malaria parasite's susceptibility to most of the current antimalarial drugs. However, the precise mechanisms by which P...
