Research Abstract |
Light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) belongs to a large enzyme family "short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase". Toward the invention of new light-dependent enzymes it is very important to understand how the light-dependent property of LPOR has been evolved. I have identified a most diverged LPOR in a marine cyanobacterium by biochemical method and determined its enzyme parameters.
