Determination of Significance:
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) is widely found in plants and microorganisms. It catalyzes the irreversible reaction of phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide to oxaloacetic acid. It is also a key enzyme for C4 plants and cam plants to fix CO2. It plays an important role in regulating the operation of tricarboxylic acid cycle.
Measurement Principle:
PEPC can catalyze phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide to form oxaloacetate and HPO42-. Malate dehydrogenase can catalyze oxaloacetate and NADH to produce malate and NAD+. The rate of NADH reduction was measured at 340 nm and PEPC activity was calculated.
