The capacity of the oxidative pentose pathway (PPP) in the heart is limited, since the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), the first and regulating enzyme of this pathway, is very low. Two mechanisms are involved in the regulation of this pathway. Under normal conditions, G-6-PD

Recycling of carbon in the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) of intact pea root plastids has been studied. The synthesis of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and evolution of COz was followed in relation to nitrite reduction. A close coupling was observed between all three measured fluxes w
The conversion of U-labelled [14C]glucose-6-phosphate into other products by a soluble fraction oflysed spinach chloroplasts has been studied. It was found that both an oxidative pentose phosphate cycle and a glycolytic reaction sequence occur in this fraction. The formation of bisphosphates and of
