Abstract
Pyruvate is shown to be a substrate for the reduction of flavodoxin from Azotobacter vinelandii, using the phosphoroclastic enzyme system from Clostridium pasteurianum. In this reaction, the reduction of this flavoprotein proceeds beyond the semiquinone state partly to the hydroquinone form. Pyruvate is possibly the substrate for the reduction of flavodoxin in the intact organisms.Keywords
