Ferredoxin:protochlorophyllide reductase (ATP-dependent) (EC 1.3.7.7), light-independent protochlorophyllide reductase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP-dependent ferredoxin:protochlorophyllide-a 7,8-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

protochlorophyllide + reduced ferredoxin + 2 ATP + 2 H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] chlorophyllide a + oxidized ferredoxin + 2 ADP + 2 phosphate

It can alternatively take as its substrate the compound with a second vinyl group (instead of an ethyl group) in the structure, in which case the reaction is

3,8-divinylprotochlorophyllide + reduced ferredoxin + 2 ATP + 2 H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 3,8-divinylchlorophyllide a + oxidized ferredoxin + 2 ADP + 2 phosphate

This enzyme is present in photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria, green algae and gymnosperms and is part of the biosynthetic pathway to chlorophylls.[4][5]
