ID 4.2.1.165 DE chlorophyllide a 3(1)-hydratase. CA (1) 3-devinyl-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)chlorophyllide a = chlorophyllide a + CA H2O. CA (2) 3-deacetyl-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)bacteriochlorophyllide a = 3-deacetyl-3- CA vinylbacteriochlorophyllide a + H2O. CC -!- The enzyme, together with EC 1.3.7.15 and EC 1.1.1.396, is involved CC in the conversion of chlorophyllide a to bacteriochlorophyllide a. CC -!- The enzymes can act in multiple orders, resulting in the formation of CC different intermediates, but the final product of the cumulative CC action of the three enzymes is always bacteriochlorophyllide a. CC -!- The enzyme catalyzes the hydration of a vinyl group on ring A, CC converting it to a hydroxyethyl group. //
