It is proposed that the biosynthesis of uroporphyrinogen III 3, the parent precursor of the natural porphyrins, chlorins and corrins, involves a 2H-pyrrole (pyrrolenine) 2 as a key intermediate. Model pyrrolenines have now been used to show that (a) pyrro

When the enzyme deaminase acts alone on porphobilinogen, it releases a tarnsient intermediate into the medium which is unaffected by further treatment with a large excess of deaminase.The intermediate undergoes rapid ring-closure chemically (t1/2/su
