| Abstract: | An NADPH oxidase has been partially purified from maize kernels. The activity of this enzyme, as measured by NADPH disappearance or oxygen consumption, was enhanced by dipicolinic acid (pyridine 2,6-dicarboxylic acid). Dipicolinic acid was not consumed in this reaction indicating that it was an activator rather than a substrate of this enzyme. |
