Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.27Å Ligands: SO4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function BCHU_CHLTE Involved in the biosynthesis of the major light-harvesting pigment bacteriochlorophyll c (BChlc), which confers a significant competitive advantage to green sulfur bacteria living at limiting red and near-infrared light intensities (PubMed:15090495). Catalyzes the methylation at the C-20 position of the cyclic tetrapyrrole chlorin of bacteriochlorophyll d (BChld) to produce bacteriochlorophyll c (BChlc) using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl source (PubMed:15090495, PubMed:16797589). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
