These reactions do not occur in the dark or at night. There is a light-dependent regulation of the cycle enzymes, as the third step requires NADPH. There are two regulation systems at work when the cycle must be turned on or off: the thioredoxin/ferredoxin activation system, which activates some of the cycle enzymes; and the [[RuBisCO]] enzyme activation, active in the Calvin cycle, which involves its own activase. | These reactions do not occur in the dark or at night.
