Abstract excerpt
Chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO) catalyzes two-step oxygenation reactions and converts chlorophyllide a to chlorophyllide b. When CAO was introduced into the Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 genome, chlorophyll b was synthesized and incorporated into P700-chlorophyll a-protein complexes. Curve analysis of photosystem I particles showed that Ca687 was decreased with a concomitant increase in Cb652 suggesting that...
