Chloroplast biogenesis. Molecular structure of chlorophyll b (E489 F666).
Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis established the presence of two vinyl groups/macrocycle of chlorophyll b (E489 F666). The latter is the only chlorophyll b that accumulates in a corn mutant (ON 8147). On the other hand the presence of only one vinyl group/macrocycle of authentic monovinyl chlorophyll b (E475 F660) was confirmed.
