Soll, Jürgen und Schultz, Gernot (1981): Phytol synthesis from geranylgeraniol in spinach chloroplasts. In: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Bd. 99, Nr. 3: S. 907-912

Abstract

The reduction of /2-14C/-geranylgeranylpyrophosphate to phytylpyrophosphosphate is shown for the first time in chloroplasts. The esterification of exogenous /2-14C/-geranylgeranylpyrophosphate with endogenous chlorophyllide and the stepwise reduction of the pigment bound geranylgeraniol to phytol was also proved for spinach chloroplasts for the first time.
