Porphobilinogen Synthase: A Challenge for the Chemist?
The initial steps in the biosynthesis of the tetrapyrrolic dyes, called the 'pigments of life', are highly convergent. The formation of porphobilinogen, the pyrrolic precursor of the tetrapyrrolic skeleton, uses ?-aminolevulinate as the starting material. This amino acid is dedica...
