Tetrapyrrole utilization by Bacteroids ruminocola [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1977
Reduced versus oxidized difference spectra of whole cells and pyridine hemochromogens of heme-requiring isolates of Bacteroides ruminicola are altered when deuteroporphyrin or mesoporphyrin replaces protoheme as a growth factor. During growth in the presence of either deuteroporphyrin or mesoporphyrin, whole cells exhibit peaks at 545 t547, 515 to 518,

Biosynthesis of the modified tetrapyrroles—the pigments of life [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Modified tetrapyrroles are large macrocyclic compounds, consisting of diverse conjugation and metal chelation systems and imparting an array of colors to the biological structures that contain them. Tetrapyrroles represent some of the most complex small molecules synthesized by cells and are involved in many essential processes that are fundamental to ...

PAPP5 is involved in the tetrapyrrole mediated plastid signalling during chloroplast development.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The initiation of chloroplast development in the light is dependent on nuclear encoded components. The nuclear genes encoding key components in the photosynthetic machinery are regulated by signals originating in the plastids.

Altering Tetrapyrrole Biosynthesis by Overexpressing Ferrochelatases (Fc1 and Fc2) Improves Photosynthetic Efficiency in Transgenic Barley

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Ferrochelatase (FC) is the terminal enzyme of heme biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms studied so far, there is evidence for two FC isoforms, which are encoded by two genes (FC1 and FC2).

Prevention of poxvirus infection by tetrapyrroles [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2003
Prevention of poxvirus infection is a topic of great current interest. We report inhibition of vaccinia virus in cell culture by porphyrins and phthalocyanines. Most previous work on the inhibition of viruses with tetrapyrroles has involved photodynamic mechanisms.

Rationales for the Choice of Metals for Super‐Reduced Biological Metal Centers: Cobalt in Cobalamin Versus Nickel in F430

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
DFT calculations on porphyrin, corrin, and corphin complexes of cobalt, rhodium, iron, manganese, or nickel, and QM/MM calculations on enzyme models, explore the factors controlling the availably of super‐reduced metal(I) states. True metal(I) states are seen in corrin only for cobalt, in corphin only for nickel, and not at all in porphyrin.

Surgical inflammation: a pathophysiological rainbow

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2009
Tetrapyrrole molecules are distributed in virtually all living organisms on Earth. In mammals, tetrapyrrole end products are closely linked to oxygen metabolism. Since increasingly complex trophic functional systems for using oxygen are considered in the

Building a library of electrocatalysts based on single‐centered metallophthalocyanines

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
This study offers a transformative approach that facilitates the discovery of high‐performance catalysts by establishing a metallophthalocyanine‐based electrocatalyst library tailored for energy conversion processes. It will play a crucial role in advancing carbon neutrality and fostering the creation of long‐term sustainable energy ecosystems ...

Crystal structure of 5-tert-butyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2016
In the title free base porphyrin, C42H34N4, the neighbouring N...N distances in the center of the ring vary from 2.818 (8) to 2.998 (8) Å and the phenyl rings are tilted from the 24-atom mean plane at angles varying between 62.42 (2)–71.63 (2)°.
