Bio-Protocol, 2014 A recent study demonstrated that cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) have an important role in malate metabolism during fruit ripening (Osorio et al., 2013). PEPCK catalyze the ATP-dependent decarboxylation

Whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations are not depressed in subjects with clinical pellagra [PDF]
, 2007 Population surveys for niacin deficiency are normally based on clinical signs or on biochemical measurements of urinary niacin metabolites. Status may also be determined by measurement of whole blood NAD and NADP concentrations. To compare these methods,

Cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis leaves and roots
Biologia Plantarum, 2012 NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH) catalyses the production of NADPH, which is an essential component in the cellular homeostasis. In Arabidopsis, the kinetic parameters (K m and V max) of cytosolic NADP-ICDH were different in leaves and

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
, 2002 Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...
