Product Name geranylgeranyl-bacteriochlorophyllide a reductas
Example Structure Example Structure of geranylgeranyl-bacteriochlorophyllide a reductas EC#: 1.3.1.111
Synonyms BchP, geranylgeranyl-bacteriochlorophyll reductase, geranylgeranyl-bacteriopheophytin reductase, GG-Bphe reductase
EC Number 1.3.1.111
CAS Registry Number
Comments The enzyme catalyses the successive reduction of the geranylgeraniol esterifying group to phytol, reducing three out of four double bonds, and transforming geranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a via dihydrogeranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a and tetrahydrogeranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a to bacteriochlorophyll a. The enzyme can also accept the pheophytin derivative geranylgeranyl bacteriopheophytin, converting it to bacteriopheophytin a.
Cofactor
History
Reactions Bacteriochlorophyll a + 3 NADP(+) = geranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a + 3 Nadph.
