BACKGROUND: Atovaquone is part of the antimalarial drug combination atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone(®)) and inhibits the cytochrome bc(1 )complex of the electron transport chain in Plasmodium spp. Molecular modelling showed that amino acid mutations are clustered around a putative atovaquone-binding...
