Chlorophyllide-a oxygenase
Class of enzymes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chlorophyllide-a oxygenase (EC 1.14.13.122), chlorophyllide a oxygenase, chlorophyll-b synthase, CAO) is an enzyme with systematic name chlorophyllide-a:oxygen 7-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reactions
- (1) chlorophyllide a + O2 + NADPH + H+ 7-hydroxychlorophyllide a + H2O + NADP+
- (2) 7-hydroxychlorophyllide a + O2 + NADPH + H+ chlorophyllide b + 2 H2O + NADP+
