Abstract excerpt
Oxygen-dependent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase catalyzes the sequential decarboxylation of the propionate substituents present on the A and B rings of coproporphyrinogen III in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Although extensive experimental investigation of this enzyme has already afforded many insights into its reaction mechanism, several key features (such as the substrate binding mode, the characterization of...
