Abstract excerpt
Coproheme decarboxylases (ChdCs) are utilized by monoderm bacteria to produce heme b by a stepwise oxidative decarboxylation of the 2- and 4-propionate groups of iron coproporphyrin III (coproheme) to vinyl groups. This work compares the effect of hemin reconstitution versus the hydrogen peroxide-mediated conversion of coproheme to heme b in the actinobacterial ChdC from Corynebacterium diphtheriae (CdChdC) and...
