Localization, biochemical characterization, and solubilization of (4-vinyl) chlorophyllide a reductase, a novel chlorophyll a biosynthetic enzyme

(4-vinyl) chlorophyllide a reductase (4VCR), catalyses the conversion of divinyl chlorophyllide a (DVChlide a) to monovinyl chlorophyllide a (MVChlide a). The latter is the immediate precursor of monovinyl chlorophyll a (MVChl a) in plants and algae. In reaction center and light harvesting pigment-protein complexes, MVChl a is the main, photosynthetically active protein.
