Abstract
An assay to screen potential inhibitors of the C acid cycle in plants. The assay involves testing inhibition of C enzymes by incubating a mixture that includes pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and malate dehydrogenase and their substrates with a potential inhibitor. Detection of inhibition depends on comparing the resulting levels of NADH or NAD in the test mixture to the levels of NADH or NAD in a control.
