Hydrogen Peroxide is Scavenged by Ascorbate-specific Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts
Abstract Intact spinach chloroplasts scavenge hydrogen peroxide with a peroxidase that uses a photoreductant as the electron donor, but the activity of ruptured chloroplasts is ...
Chloroplast Glutathione Reductase
Glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) activity is present in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. The pH dependence and substrate concentration for half-maximal rate are re...
Light-dependent Reduction of Oxidized Glutathione by Ruptured Chloroplasts
Crude extracts of pea shoots (Pisum sativum) catalyzed oxidized glutathione (GSSG)-dependent oxidation of NADPH which was attributed to NADPH-specific glutathione reductase. The...
Influence of Hydrogen Peroxide upon Carbon Dioxide Photoassimilation in the Spinach Chloroplast
Photosynthesis and the Warburg effect (O(2) inhibition of photosynthesis) were evaluated in preparations of intact spinach chloroplasts enriched with varying amounts of lysed ch...
