Bioactivity | Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a carbon dioxide fixing enzyme that in an irreversible manner and in the presence of Mg2+, converts phosphoenolpyruvate and bicarbonate into oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphorus. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase catalyses the primary assimilation of CO(2) in Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase plays a major role in setting the day-night pattern of metabolism in plants[1][2]. |
