Abstract

Photoenzymes are enzymes that catalyze photochemical reactions. For a long time, it was believed that only two types of photoenzymes exist: light-dependent NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase and photolyase. However, other photoenzymes have now been discovered, most recently fatty acid photodecarboxylase.
