Altered monovinyl and divinyl protochlorophyllide pools in bchJ mutants of Rhodobacter capsulatus. Possible monovinyl substrate discrimination of light-independent protochlorophyllide reductase.

Abstract excerpt

In land plants in particular, it has been well established that chlorophyll intermediates, Mg-protoporphyrin, Mg-protoporphyrin monomethylester, protochlorophyllide, and chlorophyllide occur as monovinyl and divinyl forms. The pool of monovinyl and divinyl intermediates differ according to species, age of tissue, and light regime. In this study, we investigated the monovinyl and divinyl characteristics of...
