The ability to respire and generate adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) is essential for the physiology, persistence, and pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis. By employing a lead repurposing strategy, the malarial cytochrome bc1 inhibitor SCR0911 was tested against mycobacteria. Docking studies were carried out to reveal potential binding and to understand the binding interactions
