From: Confirmation of emergence of mutations associated with atovaquone-proguanil resistance in unexposed Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Africa

Figure 2

Multiple sequences alignment of cytochrome b gene (residues 137 to 279) of some Nigerian isolates of P. falciparum. Highlighted are residues 268 with amino acid changes from the wild-type tyrosine (Y) to the mutant asparagine (N) allele associated previously with atovaquone resistance in Plasmodium falciparum. In addition residue 266 in patient ID (Cytb012) where Pro (P) is changed to Thr (T) is also highlighted. Sequences of the atovaquone resistant (NGTV01) and sensitive (K1 and 3D7) control strains are also present.
