Hot Spots of Phytoene Desaturase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides Influencing the Desaturation of Phytoene [PDF]
Catalysts, 2021 Phytoene desaturase (CrtI, E.C. 1.3.99.31) shows variable desaturation activity, thereby introducing different numbers of conjugated double bonds (CDB) into the substrate phytoene. In particular, Rhodobacter sphaeroides CrtI is known to introduce additional 6 CDBs into the phytoene with 3 CDBs, generating neurosporene with 9 CDBs.

A comprehensive review on the colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015 Carotenoids and their derivatives are versatile isoprenoids involved in many varied actions, hence their importance in the agri-food industry, nutrition, health and other fields. All carotenoids are derived from the colorless carotenes phytoene and phytofluene, which are oddities among carotenoids due to their distinct chemical structure.

Mitosis Inhibitors Induce Massive Accumulation of Phytoene in the Microalga Dunaliella salina
Marine Drugs, 2021 Phytoene is a colourless natural carotenoid that absorbs UV light and provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities as well as protection against photodamage.

Stereoisomers of Colourless Carotenoids from the Marine Microalga Dunaliella salina
Molecules, 2020 Carotenoids comprise a diverse range of naturally occurring stereoisomers, which differ in their physico-chemical properties. Their biosynthesis begins with phytoene, which is a rarity among carotenoids because it is colourless.

A new F131V mutation in Chlamydomonas phytoene desaturase locates a cluster of norflurazon resistance mutations near the FAD-binding site in 3D protein models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii provides a tractable genetic model to study herbicide mode of action using forward genetics. The herbicide norflurazon inhibits phytoene desaturase, which is required for carotenoid synthesis.
