Abstract
The delay in, or loss of, flaxseed lipoxidase activity in N-tris (hydroxymethyl) methylglycine and N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N′-2-ethanesulfonic acid buffers with linolenic acid as a substrate appears due to an alteration of the lipid micelle. Flaxseed lipoxidase activity is dependent on the ionic strength of the assay solution. These effects are not observed with linoleic acid as substrate. The influence of these 2 buffers on linolenic acid micelles may have a direct bearing on recent reports of chloroplast structure and activity in these buffers.Keywords
