ABSTRACT:
This invention identifies a novel family of bilin reductases. Designated herein HY bilin reductases, the enzymes of this invention are useful in a wide variety of contexts including but not limited to the conversion of biliverdins to phytobilins and the assembly of holophytochromes or phytofluors.
