During an investigation of possible mechanisms involved in chloroplast deterioration, evidence was sought for lipid peroxidation since this reaction is frequently associated with membrane damage. The high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linolenic acid, in chloroplast lipids (1) suggests their potential susceptibility to rapid cyclic peroxidation reactions. Although chlorophyll is known in chemical systems to catalyze lipid peroxidation (2), the occurrence of this reaction in chloroplasts has not been demonstrated. Lipid peroxidation has been found in mitochondria (3) and microsomes (4) where a slow reaction associated with deterioration and lysis has been described by Tappel and Zalkin. In mitochondria, Schneider, et al.,(5) have also shown that the process is closely associated with swelling and membrane disruption, and eventual disintegration of mitochondria accompany production of lipid peroxide products under certain metabolic conditions. In microsomes an enzymatic peroxidation of lipids linked to electron transport in the NADPH oxidase system has recently been described by Hockstein et a1.(6).-- It now appears that a similar situation may exist in chloroplasts since the formation of malonaldehyde, a lipid peroxidation decomposition product, is remarkably-increased upon illumination of spinach chloroplasts.Chloroplasts were isolated from spinach leaves in NaCl (175 t&I) Tris-HCl (50 r&i, pR 8) and stored for periods up to one hour at 0'C in the dark. The experiments with chloroplasts were performed in tubes kept at 25'C either in the light (1800 f&candles) or dark for specified time intervals. Assays were then performed to test for the occurrence of malonaldehyde, a decomposition product of polyunsaturated fatty acid hydroperoxides (7, 8) by the 2-tniobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction. The procedure involved addition of 2.0 ml of 0.5% TBA (in 20$ trichloroacetic acid) to an equal volume of sample. This mixture was incubated for 25 minutes at 95'C, rapidly cooled to room temperature,. and absorbancy
