IUBMB Comments

Requires Mg2+. The enzyme is modified by binding of the first substrate, phytyl diphosphate, before reaction of the modified enzyme with the second substrate, chlorophyllide a, can occur. The reaction also occurs when phytyl diphosphate is replaced by geranylgeranyl diphosphate.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

Synonyms
chlorophyll synthase, chlorophyll synthetase, chl synthase, chl synthetase, chlorophyll a synthase, more
