15-cis-phytoene + 2 plastoquinone = 9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene + 2 plastoquinol
overall reaction, ordered ping-pong bi-bi mechanism, both lipophilic substrates are bound inside the same substrate cavity that cannot be occupied by both simultaneously. The central 15-cis configuration of phytoene mediates the regiospecificity in catalysis
