The inhibition of chlorophyll biosynthesis by metals was described for higher plants (Bazinsky et al., 1980 Prassad and Prassad, 1987) as well as for algae (De Filippis and Pallaghy, 1976 De Filippis et al., 1981 a). Sensitivity to metals was found for two enzymes of this pathway 8-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA)-dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.24) and protochlorophyllide reductase. Stobart et al. (1985) reported that the synthesis of 8-ALA is also an important site of inhibition in barley (Hordeum vulgare). 

Several natural photoenzymes with activity controlled by light have been reported to date. Among them are DNA and (6-4) photoproduct photolyases, which are highly efficient light-driven DNA-repair enzymes [14, 15], protochlorophyllide reductase, which is an important enzyme in the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway [16, 17], nitrile hydratase, which hydirates aliphatic and aromatic nitriles to the...
