From: Metabolomics profiling reveals new aspects of dolichol biosynthesis in Plasmodium falciparum
Distribution of polyprenol and dolichol species present in P. falciparum schizont stage (a), gametocyte stage IV (b), and uninfected RBCs (c) were analyzed by LC-HRMS. Values represent means ± s.e.m. of three independent biological replicates. The structures of polyprenol (POH) and dolichol (DOH) are illustrated where (n) indicates the number of internal cis-isoprene units. The α-isoprene unit of polyprenols (unsaturated) and dolichols (saturated) is indicated by a red circle. The figure was drawn using CorelDraw 2018 (https://www.coreldraw.com/en/).
