Protochlorophyllide reduction - what is new in 2005?

2005

Because the transformation of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) to chlorophyllide (Chlide) is an irradiation-dependent process, it is at the heart of the photosynthetic membrane biogenesis, turnover, and adaptation to changes of the environment. I review here the new data published during the year 2004 on Pchlide reduction to Chlide.

Protochlorophyllide Reduction: Mechanisms and Evolution¶

2007

Protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductases are key enzymes in the process of chlorophyll biosynthesis. In this review, current knowledge on the molecular organization, substrate specificity and assembly of the light-dependent reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate:Pchlide oxidoreductases are discussed. Characteristics of light-independent enzymes are also described briefly, and the possible reasons for the selection of light-dependent enzymes during the course of evolution are discussed.
