A pathway for the synthesis of this molecule unusually requires glutamic acid ligated to tRNA as a precursor.
Tigrina mutants are characterized by buildup of a toxic precursor to this molecule. A pathway for the synthesis of this molecule unusually requires glutamic acid ligated to tRNA as a precursor. The C5 pathway, also known as the Beale pathway, comprises a major step in the synthesis of this molecule. LPOR and DPOR are two reductases that are used in the synthesis of this molecule. The breakdown of this molecule causes an increase in pheophytin a, which is then converted into tetrapyrrole catabolites called (*) NNCs. This molecule is not heme, but glycine and succinyl-CoA is converted to a precursor of this molecule by 5-ALA synthase. This molecule comes in "special pairs" called P680 and P700. It contains a long 20-carbon phytol chain and a porphyrin coordinated with a central magnesium ion, and is located in the thylakoid membrane. For 10 points, name this green pigment that is used for photosynthesis.
