Amino acids, such as histidine, produced by pathways related to nucleotide metabolism, but not found in spark-tube experiments, are in fact excellent candidates for inclusion because they interact well with the RNA that must be present.
-
P. falciparum cultures should be evaluated, and the putative implication of particular ROS determined using reversible inhibitors such as histidine, tryptophan, superoxide dismutase and/or catalase, to indicate which oxygen radicals, if any, are involved
