Compound as reactive (2)
3 H+ + chlorophyll a → Mg2+ + pheophytin a
H2O + chlorophyll a → phytol + H+ + chlorophyllide a
Compound as product (3)
3 NADP+ + chlorophyll a ← 3 NADPH + 3 H+ + geranylgeranyl chlorophyll a
2 an oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + chlorophyll a ← 2 a reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H+ + 3,8-divinyl chlorophyll a
chlorophyll a + NADP+ ← NADPH + H+ + tetrahydrogeranylgeranyl chlorophyll a
Reversible reaction (3)
chlorophyll a + oxygen ↔ H2O + chlorophyll b
2 a reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H+ + 71-hydroxychlorophyll a ↔ 2 an oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H2O + chlorophyll a
phytyl diphosphate + H+ + chlorophyllide a ↔ chlorophyll a + diphosphate
