chlorophyll a [CPD:C05306];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
oxidized ferredoxin [CPD:C00139]
Product
71-hydroxychlorophyll a [CPD:C18151];
reduced ferredoxin [CPD:C00138];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
Contains FAD and an iron-sulfur center. This enzyme, which is present in plant chloroplasts, carries out the second step in the conversion of chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a. It similarly reduces chlorophyllide a.
