In enzymology, protochlorophyllide reductases[2][3] (EC 1.3.1.33 and EC 1.3.7.7) are enzymes that catalyze the chemical reaction

The reduction of ring D of protochlorophyllide completes the biosynthesis of chlorophyllide a
protochlorophyllide + NADPH + H+ chlorophyllide a + NADP+

The three substrates of this enzyme are protochlorophyllide, NADPH, and H+; its two products are chlorophyllide a and NADP+ .

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chlorophyllide-a :NADP+ 7,8-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADPH2-protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase, NADPH-protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase, NADPH-protochlorophyllide reductase, protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase, and protochlorophyllide photooxidoreductase. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to chlorophylls.[4][5]

There are two structurally unrelated proteins with this activity, referred to as light-dependent and the dark-operative. The light-dependent reductase needs light to function, while the dark-operative version is a completely different protein, consisting of three subunits that exhibit significant sequence similarity to the three subunits of nitrogenase.[6] This enzyme might be evolutionary older but (being similar to nitrogenase) is highly sensitive to free oxygen and does not work if its concentration exceeds about 3%.[7] Hence the alternative, light dependent version evolved as the concentration of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere grew.
