Description

2,4-Divinylprotochlorophyllide is a key biosynthetic intermediate in the chlorophyll pathway, specifically in the conversion of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyll a. This compound matters for its critical role in fundamental plant biochemistry and photosynthesis research, enabling studies on chlorophyll biosynthesis and photomorphogenesis. It is primarily needed by research institutions, biotechnology companies, and agrochemical developers focused on plant physiology, metabolic engineering, and the development of novel herbicides or plant growth regulators.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a standard reference compound for studying the enzymatic steps and regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants and algae.
• Photosynthesis Studies: Used to investigate the photoconversion of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide, a critical light-dependent reaction.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Essential for tracing metabolic fluxes in engineered photosynthetic organisms or for inhibitor studies.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as a target molecule for screening and developing novel compounds that disrupt chlorophyll synthesis, potentially leading to new herbicide modes of action.
• Educational Reference: Used in advanced university laboratories for teaching plant biochemistry and photobiology principles.

Quality Control

Our 2,4-Divinylprotochlorophyllide is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, NMR) for identity confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and relevant physical data is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizers.
