Studies on pigments of life: novel porphyrinoids from bacteria

A number of bacterial heme prosthetic groups whose structures deviate significantly from the ubiquitous protoheme have been discovered recently. These new pigments contain dramatic modificatins in the aromatic core and/or side chains. Examples include heme d and heme o as well as heme d1.Synthetic approaches of these macrocycles and their possible biosynthetic pathways will be discussed.

Key words: PIGMENT, IRON COMPLEX, PORPHYRIN
