Ruthenium porphyrin-ß-cyclodextrin complexes as supramolecular enzyme models for regioselective cleavage of carotenoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
All naturally occurring vitamin A derives from enzymatic oxidative cleavage of β,β-carotene or other carotenoids with pro-vitamin A activity. Two metabolic pathways of β,β-carotene to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) have been proposed: the central cleavage ...
