In molecules, two types of excited states can exist;
a) The singlet state is relatively short‐lived and contains electrons with opposite (antiparallel) spins.
b) The more long‐lived triplet state has electron spins that are aligned (parallel).

Glycine decarboxylase GDC multienzyme complex, present in large concentrations in the matrix of plant mitochondria, comprises four proteins, named 

H-protein (a lipoamide-containing polypeptide), 

P-protein (a 200 kDa, homodimer, pyridoxal phosphate-containing protein),

T-protein (a folate-dependent protein), and 

L-protein (a flavin adenine nucleotide–containing protein

The C4 plants, which typically grow at high light intensity and high temperatures, have several important characteristics: high photosynthetic rates, high growth rates, low photorespiration rates, low rates of water loss, and a specialized leaf structure

C4 leaf has two distinct chloroplast-containing cell types: mesophyll and bundle sheath (or Kranz, German for “wreath”) cells

Operation of the C4 cycle requires the cooperative effort of both cell types. No mesophyll cell of a C4 plant is more than two or three cells away from the nearest bundle sheath cell.
