ABSTRACT
Hydroxypyruvate reductase (HPR; EC 1.1.1.81) activity is integral to the photorespiratory pathway. Within photorespiration, HPR catalyzes the reduction of hydroxypyruvate, a product of the serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase reaction to glycerate, a substrate for glycerate kinase, using NADH as cofactor. Here we detail a spectrophotometric assay for measuring HPR activity in vitro by following the consumption of NADH at 340 nm.
