Pyrrole, or pyrrol, is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, a five-membered ring with the chemical formula carbon4hydrogen4nitrogenH.... involved in porphyrin
Porphyrin
Porphyrins are a group of chemical compounds of which many occur in nature, such as in green leaves and red blood cells, and in bio-inspired synthetic catalysts and devices.... metabolism.
It is generated by aminolevulinate (ALA) and the enzyme
Enzyme
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.... ALA dehydratase. PBG is then converted into hydroxymethyl bilane by the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase
Porphobilinogen deaminase
Porphobilinogen deaminase is an enzyme involved in the third step of the metabolism of porphyrin, converting porphobilinogen into hydroxymethyl bilane.... .
