Biosynthesis of natural porphyrins: further experiments with hydroxymethylbilane

Abstract

In is shown that at low temperatures (as at higher ones) the enzyme deaminase converts porphobilinogen into the unrearranged hydroxymethylbilane (5); there is no evidence for formation of preuro'gen (7) nor for its involvement in porphyrin biosynthesis.
