1.3.7.15 ? x * 53000 + x * 56000 + x * 53000, SDS-PAGE 1.3.7.15 additional information In contrast to BciA and BciB, COR is a nitrogenase-like complex enzyme consisting of two separable components, the X protein (a BchX dimer) and the YZ protein (a BchY-BchZ heterotetramer). The X protein serves as the reductase component by transferring electrons from a [4Fe-4S] cluster held in the interface between the BchX homodimer to the YZ protein. The YZ protein is the catalytic component, as it accepts electrons from the X protein and transfers them to the Chlide substrate via a [4Fe-4S] cluster, to produce 3-vinyl bacteriochlorophyllide a (3 V-BChlide) 1.3.7.15 additional information one BchYZ heterodimer is assumed as a minimal active protomer 1.3.7.15 oligomer the COR components (BchY/BchZ)2 and BchX2 are organized in a ternary COR complex
