Research Progress in the Interconversion, Turnover and Degradation of Chlorophyll

Chlorophylls (Chls, Chl <i>a</i> and Chl <i>b</i>) are tetrapyrrole molecules essential for photosynthetic light harvesting and energy transduction in plants. Once formed, Chls are noncovalently bound to photosynthetic proteins on the thylakoid membrane. In contrast, they are...
