Computational insights into the photochemical step of the reaction catalyzed by protochlorophylide oxidoreductase

The light-dependent enzyme protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (EC:1.3.1.33) catalyzes the conversion of protochlorophyllide (PChlide) into chlorophyllide during chlorophyll synthesis. The reaction has been proposed to proceed through light-induced weakening of the C17–C18 double bond in PChlide, whi...
