Homology modeling has been used to identify extra‐chloroplastic enzymes that contain potential disulfide bonds. All of the higher plant fructose bisphosphatases and mitochondrial citrate synthases that have been tested to date, two glyceraldehyde‐3‐P dehydrogenases, two enolases and one lactate dehydrogenase, are redox‐sensitive and may then be redox‐regulated in vivo. Apparently, redox‐sensitivity is not limited to the chloroplast.
