Hydrogen Peroxide is Scavenged by Ascorbate-specific Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts
Observations confirm that the electron donor for the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide in chloroplasts is L-ascorbate and that the L-ASCorbate is regenerated from DHA by the system: photosystem I-*ferredoxin-*NADP^>glutathione and a preliminary characterization of the chloroplast peroxidase is given.

Amino acid sequence and other molecular properties indicate that ascorbate peroxidase resembles cytochrome c peroxIDase from fungi rather than guaiacol per oxidase from plants, and it is proposed that the plant and yeast hydrogen peroxide-scavenging peroxidsases have the same ancestor.

Two isozymes of ascorbate (AsA) peroxidase were found in tea leaves, and one of them was purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
Thylakoid-Bound Ascorbate Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts and Photoreduction of Its Primary Oxidation Product Monodehydroascorbate Radicals in Thylakoids
Ascorbate is photoregenerated in the thylakoids from the MDA radicals produced in a reaction of asCorbate peroxidase for the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide.
