Description
The enzyme, found in many phototrophic bacteria, land plants, and some green and red algae, is involved in the production of monovinyl versions of (bacterio)chlorophyll pigments from their divinyl precursors. Binds two [4Fe-4S] clusters and an FAD cofactor. It can also act on 3,8-divinyl chlorophyllide a, 3,8-divinyl chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll c2. cf. EC 1.3.1.75, 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase (NADPH).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
bciB (gene name); cyano-type divinyl chlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase
Reaction
protochlorophyllide a + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster = 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H+
