1. The conditions under which oxygen consumption in excess of that required for the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid to caffeic acid, catalysed by spinach-beet phenolase, can be suppressed, have been examined. 2. With dimethyltetrahydropteridine as electron donor, oxygen uptake was exactly
1. Under defined conditions, the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid catalysed by a phenolase from leaves of spinach beet (Beta vulgaris L.) was observed to develop its maximum rate only after a lag period. 2. By decreasing the reaction rate with lower enzyme concentrations or by increasing it with
Treatment of spinach-beet phenolase with H2O2 under aerobic conditions results in a stimulation of the p-coumaric acid hydroxylation it catalyses, but not the caffeic acid oxidation. Spectroscopic evidence suggests that an oxygenated enzyme species is formed under these conditions.
1. A spectrophotometric assay is described that enables the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid to caffeic acid, catalysed by spinach-beet phenolase, to be followed continuously. 2. Initial-velocity and inhibitor studies indicate that the order of substrate addition is oxygen, p-coumaric acid and
1. An enzyme from the leaves of spinach beet (Beta vulgaris L.) that catalyses the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid to caffeic acid in the presence of ascorbate has been purified about 1000-fold on a protein basis. 2. It is activated by high concentrations of ammonium sulphate and sodium chloride.
1. Chloroplasts isolated from leaves of spinach-beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) do not catalyse the hydroxylation of p-coumaric acid in the dark unless a reductant (such as ascorbate, NADH or NADPH) is added. Superoxide dismutase has no effect on this reaction. 2. Illuminated chloroplasts
