5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and its esters have been under intense investigation to enhance the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in tumour cells for the purpose of photodynamic diagnosis. In this study we have investigated the use of exogenous PpIX

The role of cytochrome b5 heme propionate groups in the functional interactions between cytochromes P-450 RLM5 and b5 has been investigated by comparing the capacity of RLM5 to interact with both native b5 and a b5 derivative in which the

The role of haem propionates in oxidative and reductive reactions catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was studied after successful reconstitution of ferric protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester (PPDME) into the apoperoxidase. The reconstituted enzyme oxidizes neither guaiacol (aromatic electron donor) nor

The resolution and reconstitution of the Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester oxidative cyclase system into a supernatant and a pellet fraction was accomplished by a procedure involving salt treatment followed by osmotic shock. Recombination of pellet and supernatant fractions was required
