Abstract excerpt
Chlorophyll biosynthesis is catalyzed by two multi subunit enzymes; a light-dependent and a light-independent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase. The light-independent enzyme consists of three subunits (ChlL, ChlN and ChlB) in photosynthetic bacteria and plastids in which the chlB gene encodes the major subunit that catalyzes the reduction of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide. We report here stable...
