Malic enzymes (ME) catalyze the decarboxylation of malate generating pyruvate CO2 and NADH or NADPH. a central part of this metabolite in the provision of carbon to Mocetinostat plastids where the biosynthesis of fatty acids occurs. In this regard the genome of castor possesses a single gene encoding a putative plastidic NADP-ME whose expression level… Continue reading Malic enzymes (ME) catalyze the decarboxylation of malate generating pyruvate CO2
