TL;DR: The objective of the present work was to provide a means for separating and indentifying phosphate esters involved in glycolysis in higher plants using two-dimensional chromatography with successive development in an acid and in a basic solvent.

TL;DR: The experiments reported in this paper concern the mechanisms involved in plant respiration, particularly those involved in the oxidation of pyruvate, and the interest of such a study lies in the fact that it has not heretofore been possible to bring about the further oxidation in vitro by any enzyme system of plant origin.
Abstract: The experiments reported in this paper concern the mechanisms involved in plant respiration, particularly those involved in the oxidation of pyruvate. The interest of such a study lies in the fact that although pyruvate is well established as an intermediate in the respiratory oxidation of hexose by plant tissues,(1) it has not heretofore been possible to bring about the further oxidation of pyruvate in vitro by any enzyme system of plant origin.

TL;DR: The present paper reports the results of an investigation of this pathway of carbohydrate degradation in extracts of spinach and pea leaves, which does not require ADP, nor is its action accelerated by arsenate in the absence of ADP.

TL;DR: The many reports indicating that carotenoids may possess some anticarcinogenic properties may well be related to their ability to interact with and quench various radical species that can be generated within cells.
895 citations
TL;DR: The plant lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway is in many respects the equivalent of the 'arachidonic acid cascade' in animals, and hormonal and anti-fungal activities have been reported.

TL;DR: Crystalline barium glucose g-phosphate was obtained from the Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, and intestinal phosphatase from Armour and Company, Chicago and the phosphat enzyme was dialyzed overnight against cold distilled water before use.
418 citations
TL;DR: The interaction of PALA with the enzyme is consistent with the "compression" model for aspartate transcarbamylase previously proposed and puts the enzyme into the same contracted conformation as do carbamyl phosphate and succinate (an analogue of l-aspartate) acting together.
