Chloroplast Glutathione Reductase 1

Michail Schaedle a, James A Bassham b,2
PMCID: PMC543356  PMID: 16659940

Abstract

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 reported and a possible role in chloroplasts is proposed.
