ChemInform Abstract: Reduction Processes in Biosynthesis of Chlorophyll Molecules: Chemical Implication of Enzymatically Regio- and Stereoselective Hydrogenations in the Late Stages of Their Biosynthetic Pathway

Photosynthetically active chlorophyll molecules are biosynthesized from 5-aminolevulinic acid through protoporphyrin IX. The multistep enzymatic transformations were well investigated, but their pa...
