Abstract excerpt
Insertion of metal ions into tetrapyrrole macrocycles is catalyzed by a diverse group of enzymes called chelatases. Structures are known for several chelatases catalyzing metal insertion into protoporphyrin IX or sirohydrochlorin. Despite a lack of significant amino acid sequence similarity, these ferro- and cobaltochelatases share a high degree of structural similarity. Cobaltochelatase CbiK and ferrochelatase...
