WebApr 8, 2004 · As inferred from the structures of NCCs (Kräutler et al. 1991), the most remarkable structural change is the oxygenolytic opening of the porphyrin macrocycle of Chl.This reaction is catalyzed by the joint action of two enzymes, pheophorbide a oxygenase (PaO) and red Chl catabolite reductase (RCCR) converting pheophorbide … WebThe red chlorophyll catabolite (RCC) is a proposed cryptic intermediate of chlorophyll (Chl) breakdown in higher plants. Its accumulation in higher plants is believed to be metabolically suppressed, as RCC is commonly suspected to efficiently sensitize for the formation of the cell poison singlet oxygen (1 O 2).We report here a study on …
