Application of porphyrins as photosensitizers is based on their light-triggered generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that may cause oxidative tissue damage and ultimately kill cells. Cellular membranes are the action grounds of many sensitizers due to their hydrophobic or

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

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 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 EPR and electronic spectral changes upon titration of systems consisting of (protoporphyrin IX)iron(III) chloride (Fe(PPIX)Cl) or its dimethyl ester (Fe-(PPIXDME)Cl) and imidazole derivatives with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution have been measured at 77 and 298 degrees K in various solvents.
