摘要
In the final stage of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) biosynthesis, the presence of BChl-a molecules possessing dihydrogeranylgeranyl and tetrahydrogeranylgeranyl groups at the 17-propionate has been reported. However, the molecular structures of such BChls-a have not yet been determined in terms of the positions of C=C double bonds in the 17(2)-ester. In this study, we isolated significant amounts of such pure BChis-a from Rhodopseudomonas palustris and determined their structures by both mass spectrometry and H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The determined structures enable us to discuss a stepwise reduction from a geranylgeranyl to phytyl substituent. (c) 2006 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
