The analogue (Z)-phosphoenol-3-fluoropyruvate [(Z)-3-fluoro-2-(phosphono-oxy)propenoic acid] was tested as substrate of maize leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Studies with NaH14CO3 indicate that the analogue is carboxylated by the enzyme. However, this reaction accounts for only one-tenth of the activity measured by Pi liberation. The rest of the analogue is merely dephosphorylated. This is the first analogue for which both carboxylation and dephosphorylation have been observed.

Using a spectrophotometric technique it has been shown that CO2 is the substrate for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) from leaves of Zea mays. The Km (CO2) is approximately 7.5 × 10−6 M, which is the order of the half saturation value for CO2 in natural photosynthesis. Studies indicate also that carbonic anhydrase is localized in chloroplasts, isolated by the 'laceration technique' from leaves of Spinacea oleracea, but is absent from leaves of Zea mays. It is speculated that carbonic anhydrase catalyses a 'trap' for the CO2 escaping into the environment via photorespiration.
