This study demonstrates that 5‐ALA BL PDT induces greater levels of apoptosis in SCC cells in a wavelength‐, 5‐ALA dose‐, and temperature‐dependent manner, compared to 5‐ALA RL PDT, with higher concentrations of ALA and elevated temperatures stimulating the greatest apoptotic activity.

The coding sequence of the bovine ferrochelatase gene
The amino acid code and surrounding regions in the bovine ferrochelatase gene were amplified by a combination of reverse transcriptase PCR and vectorette PCR and sequenced. The bovine code was 86% homologous to the human ferrochelatase code but was altered at a position corresponding to the presumed human initiator codon.

Bacterial Porphyrin Extraction and Quantification by LC/MS/MS Analysis
Heme is an iron-containing porphyrin which acts as a prosthetic group in several enzymes involved in disparate functions, such as respiration and H2O2-scavenging.

Yeast Frataxin Solution Structure, Iron Binding, and Ferrochelatase Interaction†,‡
The mitochondrial protein frataxin is essential for cellular regulation of iron homeostasis. Although the exact function of frataxin is not yet clear, recent reports indicate the protein binds iron and can act as a mitochondrial iron chaperone to ...

Purification and characterisation of a water-soluble ferrochelatase from Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis ferrochelatase is encoded by the hemH gene of the hemEHY gene cluster and catalyses the incorporation of Fe2+ into protoporphyrin IX. B. subtilis ferrochelatase produced in Escherichia coli was purified.

Factors influencing the stability of heme and ferrochelatase: role of oxygen
Ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1) catalyzed heme synthesis is best accomplished in an anaerobic environment. Factors responsible for this phenomenon are not fully understood.
