Abstract
In addition to the synthesis of ketolacids the enzyme acetolactate synthase shows an oxygen‐consuming side reaction. Partially purified acctolactate synthase from corn ( Zea mays L.) and barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) exhibits chemiluminescence in the presence of oxygen, Mn 2+ and low concentrations of pyruvate. Light emission is inhibited by azide, but not by catalase or superoxide dismutase. The data suggest the formation of singlet oxygen...
