Abstract excerpt
AtCCD1 and AtNCED3 are related carotenoid cleavage enzymes from Arabidopsis thaliana that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of, respectively, the 9,10 (9',10') double bonds of carotenoid substrates such as beta-carotene, and the 11,12 double bond of 9-cis epoxycarotenoids. Although the cellular and...
