摘要: The lycopene cyclase reaction was investigated in Narcissus pseudonarcissus L. membranes using the terminal desaturation product of system, 7,9,9‘,7‘-tetra-cis-lycopene (prolycopene) as substrate. enzymatically formed bicyclic carotenes were trans configured, so overall consists two individual processes, isomerization and cyclization. reactions experimentally distinguished by use inhibitor [2-(p-chlorophenylthio)triethylammonium chloride. NADPH, essential cofactor for reaction, originates from plastid glycolytic pathway. It is shown that NADPH exhibits its function at stage also able to promote reduction prolycopene substrate vitro.
