Figure 5From: Dehydroascorbate reductase and monodehydroascorbate reductase activities of two metallothionein-like proteins from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam. ‘Tainong 57’) storage rootsDependence of dehydroascorbate reductase activity of MT-I and MT-II on GSH concentration. The reaction was carried out at 30°C by adding 100 μL MT-I and MT-II solution (100 μg protein, 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) to 0.9 mL DHA solution with different concentrations of glutathione. The increase of absorbance at 265 nm was recorded for 5 min. Each data show the mean ± SD of one experiment performed in triplicate.Back to article page
