Enzymes are biomolecules that catalysis chemical reactions. Almost all enzymes are proteins. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process are called Substrate , and the enzyme converts them into different molecules, the products.... that converts biliverdin
Biliverdin
Biliverdin is a green pigment formed as a byproduct of heme breakdown. It consists of four linearly-connected pyrrole rings . Biliverdin is formed when a heme prosthetic group is cleaved at its a-methine bridge.... to bilirubin
Bilirubin
Bilirubin is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism. Heme is formed from hemoglobin, a principal component of red blood cells. Bilirubin is excreted in bile, and its levels are elevated in certain diseases.... , converting a double-bond between the second and third pyrrole
Pyrrole
Pyrrole, or pyrrol, is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, a five-membered ring with the chemical formula carbon4hydrogen4nitrogenH.... ring into a single-bond.
