Mechanism of biosynthesis of the vinyl groups of protoporphyrin-IX

Abstract

Coproporphyrinogen-III (1) is shown to be converted biochemically into protoporphyrin-IX (4) with loss of one hydrogen atom from each propionate residue on rings A and B and the 3H-tracer results are consistent with a stereospecific process.
