Proton-decoupled 13C-NMR spectrum of erythrocyte-freed P. falciparum following incubation with D-[1-13C] glucose (25 mM). Chemical shifts in parts per million were as follows: C-1 α-glucose, 93.2; C-1 β-glucose, 97.0; C-3 lactate, 21.2; C-1,3 glycerol, 63.6; C-3 pyruvate, 27.6; C-3 alanine, 17.3 and C-3 glycerol-3-phosphate, 65.9. Spectrum representative of a typical experiment (n = 4).
