2.1.1.333 |
| Accepted name: |
bacteriochlorophyllide d C-20 methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a bacteriochlorophyllide d = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a bacteriochlorophyllide c |

| Other name(s): |
bchU (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:bacteriochlorophyllide-d C-20 methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green flimentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), catalyses the methylation of the C-20 methine bridge position in bacteriochlorophyllide d, forming bacteriochlorophyllide c. |
