BBa_K1640000	ChlI1 and ChlD genes transcibe proteins that self-assemble to form a functional ChlI1:ChlD complex. The protein transcribed by the gene ChlH inserts magnesium into protoporphyrin IX. ChlI1 and ChlD genes transcibe proteins that self-assemble to form a functional ChlI1:ChlD complex. The protein transcribed by the gene ChlH inserts magnesium into protoporphyrin IX.	We will use this part to form part of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway.	Composed of Lac promoter (BBa_R0010), ChlI1 (BBa_K1080000), ChlD (BBa_K1080002), Gun 4 (BBa_K1080003) and ChlH (BBa_K1080001) parts.
BBa_K1640001	CTH1, Plastocyanin, and YCF54 are involved in the oxidative cyclase pathway. ChlM methylates Mg-protoporphyrin IX, facilitating the highly-regulated catalysis of Mg-chelatase. CTH1 catalyses the conversion of Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl into divinyl protochlorophyllide, interacting with YCF54 and Plastocyanin. ChlH inserts magnesium into protoporphyrin IX.	We will use this part to form part of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway.	Composed of the lac promoter (BBa_R0010), CTH1 (BBa_K1080020), YCF54 (BBa_K1080023), Plasto (BBa_K1080014), and ChlM (BBa_K1326001).
BBa_K1640002	DVR1 reduces divinyl protochlorophyllide, POR converts protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide, ChlG adds the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate chain to the chlorophyllide molecule, and ChlP reduces the double bonds on GGPP. The final product is chlorophyll-a.	We will use this part to form part of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway.	Composed of the lac promoter (BBa_R0010), POR (BBa_K1080015), DVR1 (BBa_K1080012), ChlP (BBa_K1080008), and ChlG (BBa_K1080009).
BBa_K1640003	The psbD gene that comprises this part encodes the D2 protein, which is one of the two proteins that comprise the Photosystem II reaction centre core.	We will use this part to test a minimal Photosystem 2 biosynthesis pathway.	As of 27 August 2015 this part has been ordered but the sequence not confirmed.
BBa_K1640004	The psbC gene that comprises this part codes a subunit that makes up the Photosystem II protein P680. The P680 complex is photosystem II primary electron donor.	We will use this part to test a minimal Photosystem 2 biosynthesis pathway.	As of 27 August 2015 this part has been ordered but the sequence not confirmed.
BBa_K1640020	The psbA gene that comprises this part encodes the D2 protein, which is one of the two proteins that comprise the Photosystem II reaction centre core.	We will use this part to test a minimal Photosystem 2 biosynthesis pathway.	As of 27 August 2015 this part has been ordered but the sequence not confirmed.
BBa_K1640006	This part is composed of psbE, psbL and psbJ genes. The protein encoded by psbE binds heme. The psbJ protein subunit is required for correct Photosystem II assembly. The psbJ protein is required for the stability of the Mn cluster in the Oxygen Evolution Complex.	We will use this part to test a minimal Photosystem 2 biosynthesis pathway.
