Zusammenfassung
This section will deal with methods for determining enzymes which decarboxylate oxalacetate (OA) or form the latter substance by CO2 fixation. Three types of enzymes will be considered: (a) those enzymes which decarboxylate OA to pyruvate and CO2 (Reaction 1) and which may be considered true decarboxylases, (b) the plant and bacterial enzyme which catalyzes the irreversible formation of OA from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and CO2 (Reaction 2), and which is termed here PEP carboxylase, and (c) the enzyme from animal tissues or microorganisms which catalyzes the reversible formation of OA from PEP, CO2, and a nucleotide diphosphate (Reaction 3) and which is called here PEP carboxykinase.
