NADPH was added with flavodoxin/flavodoxin reductase or ferredoxin/ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase.
MW was estimated based on the peptide sequence. IspH from E.  coli, 37.0 kDa; A. aeolicus, 31.8 kDa; P.  falciparum, 58.8 kDa.
6,7-dihydro-2,11-dimethyldipyrido1,2-a:2,1-c pyrazinium dibromide (MDQ) is a MV analog.
