Molecular dissection of the Cereibacter sphaeroides spheroidene monooxygenase
{{output}}
In some purple phototrophic bacteria, the enzyme spheroidene monooxygenase (CrtA) catalyses the final step of carotenoid biosynthesis, introducing a keto group at the C2 position of spheroidene to produce spheroidenone. CrtA from the model purple bacterium Cer... ...
