Purification of Dehydroascorbate Reductase from Spinach and Its Characterization as a Thiol Enzyme
Abstract
Dehydroascorbate (DHA) reductase (EC 1.8.5.1) was purified from spinach leaves to nearly a homogeneous state, judging from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was found to be a monomer with a molecular weight of 23,000 with apparent Km values for GSH and DHA of 2.5 and 0.07 nu, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the reaction proceeds by an ordered or random mechanism involving the formation of a ternary complex. The enzyme was inhibited by thiol reagents and DHA could partly protect the enzyme thiol group. Incubation of the inactivated enzyme with GSH led to slight recovery of the activity. NADH, NADPH, cysteine or reduced thioredoxin could not replace GSH as an electron donor. Thus, the thiol group(s) participates in the reaction of DHA reductase.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
