| Accepted Name |
| Chlorophyllide-a oxygenase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| CAO. |
| Chlorophyllide a oxygenase. |
| Cholorophyll-b synthase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|
| Cofactor(s) |
| Iron.
|
| Comment(s) |
- Catalyzes two successive hydroxylations at the 7-methyl group of
chlorophyllide a.
- The second step yields the aldehyde hydrate, which loses H(2)O
spontaneously to form chlorophyllide b.
- Chlorophyll a and protochlorophyllide a are not substrates.
