Glutathione dehydrogenase (EC 1.8.5.1) was partially purified from pea shoots. The pH optimum was 7.6. The Km values for GSH and dehydroascorbate were 4.4 and 0.44 millimolar, respectively. The enzyme ...

A study was made of photoinhibition of spinach chloroplast reactions. The kinetics and spectral characteristics of the photoinhibition over a range between 230 and 700 mμ have been examined. The ...

The mystery of the unclear biological significance of the ferredoxin/thioredoxin pathway in plants has finally been solved by researchers using CRISPR/Cas9. The researchers show that the pathway is ...

Redox regulation in chloroplasts is a fundamental process that ensures the optimal performance of photosynthesis through the reversible modification of key enzymes. Central to this mechanism is the ...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important chemical reactions, not just for plants but also for the entire world. The impact and thus the importance of photosynthesis can scarcely be underestimated.
