chlorophyllide a hydrolase EC#: 3.1.1.100; ChemWhat Code: 1379322
| Product Name | chlorophyllide a hydrolase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | bciC, BciC demethoxycarbonylase, BciC enzyme, CT1077 |
| EC Number | 3.1.1.100 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | This enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green filamentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), catalyses the first committed step in the biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophylls?c,?d?and?e, the removal of the?C-132-methylcarboxyl group from chlorophyllide?a. The reaction is very similar to the conversion of pheophorbide?a?to pyropheophorbide?a?during chlorophyll?a?degradation, which is catalysed by EC?3.1.1.82, pheophorbidase. |
