Definition: | An EC 1.3.99.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-CH group with other acceptors) inhibitor that interferes with the action of phytoene desaturase (zeta-carotene-forming), EC 1.3.99.29, an enzyme of carotenoid biosynthesis that converts phytoene into zeta-carotene (zeta-carotene) via the symmetrical introduction of two double bonds at the C-11 and C-11' positions of phytoene. |
