DE   bacteriochlorophyllide d C-12(1)-methyltransferase.
CA   8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + S-adenosyl-L-
CA   methionine = 8,12-diethyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + H(+) +
CA   S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
CC   -!- This enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green
CC       flimentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), is a radical S-adenosyl-L-
CC       methionine (AdoMet) enzyme and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
CC   -!- It adds a methyl group at the C-12(1) position of
CC       bacteriochlorophylls of the c, d and e types.
CC   -!- This methylation plays a role in fine-tuning the structural
CC       arrangement of the bacteriochlorophyll aggregates in chlorosomes and
CC       therefore directly influences the chlorosomes absorption properties.
