PORPHOBILINOGEN IN LEAD POISONING
Lead poisoning is associated with characteristic urinary increases of δ-aminolevulinic acid and coproporphyrinogen III, elevated erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentration and partial block of δ- aminolevulinic acid dehydratase.In human lead poisoning a very small amount of increase of porphobilinogen and uroporphyrinogen III is reported, while in ...

Deconvoluting heme biosynthesis to target blood-stage malaria parasites [PDF]
Heme metabolism is central to blood-stage infection by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Parasites retain a heme biosynthesis pathway but do not require its activity during infection of heme-rich erythrocytes, where they can scavenge host heme ...

Patterns in evolutionary origins of heme, chlorophyll a and isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic pathways suggest non-photosynthetic periods prior to plastid replacements in dinoflagellates [PDF]
BackgroundThe ancestral dinoflagellate most likely established a peridinin-containing plastid, which have been inherited in the extant photosynthetic descendants.

High-throughput comparison, functional annotation, and metabolic modeling of plant genomes using the PlantSEED resource [PDF]
The increasing number of sequenced plant genomes is placing new demands on the methods applied to analyze, annotate, and model these genomes. Today's annotation pipelines result in inconsistent gene assignments that complicate comparative analyses and ...
