Dihydroneopterin and the generation of superoxide from iron ions
We describe the impact of dihydroneopterin on the formation of superoxide radicals. As radical source ferrous iron in air-saturated aequeous solution was used. Detection of superoxide was achieved using reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium to formazan. Dihydroneopterin decreases formazan formation whe...
