An alternative proposal for the reaction mechanism of light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase

Light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase is one of the few known enzymes that require a quantum of light to start their catalytic cycle. Upon excitation, it uses NADPH to reduce the C17–C18 in its substrate (protochlorophyllide) through a complex mechanism that has heretofore eluded precis...
