  2. Porphyrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyrin

    The third porphyrin that is [18]porphyrin-(2.1.1.0), was reported by Callot and Vogel-Sessler. Vogel and coworkers reported successful isolation of [18]porphyrin-(3.0.1.0) or isoporphycene. [31] The Japanese scientist Furuta [32] and Polish scientist Latos-Grażyński [33] almost simultaneously reported the N-confused porphyrins. The inversion ...

  3. Porphyrinogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyrinogen

    In biochemistry, a porphyrinogen is a member of a class of naturally occurring compounds with a tetrapyrrole core, a macrocycle of four pyrrole rings connected by four methylene bridges. [1] They can be viewed as derived from the parent compound hexahydroporphine by the substitution of various functional groups for hydrogen atoms in the ...

  4. Macrocyclic ligand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocyclic_ligand

    In coordination chemistry, a macrocyclic ligand is a macrocyclic ring having at least nine atoms (including all hetero atoms) and three or more donor sites that serve as ligands. [1] Crown ethers and porphyrins are prominent examples. Macrocyclic ligands often exhibit high affinity for metal ions, the macrocyclic effect.

  5. Iron-binding proteins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-binding_proteins

    The heme group uses four equatorial ligands in the porphyrin ring, with the two axial ligands being the histidine side chain and molecular oxygen. Heme proteins are proteins that contain a heme prosthetic group. The heme group consists of a porphyrin ring coordinated with an iron ion. Four nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin ring act as a ligand ...

  6. Hemoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoprotein

    The porphyrin ring is a planar dianionic, tetradentate ligand. The iron is typically Fe 2+ or Fe 3+. One or two ligands are attached at the axial sites. The porphyrin ring has 4 nitrogen atoms that bind to the iron, leaving two other coordination positions of the iron available for bonding to the histidine of the protein and a divalent atom. [2]

  7. Phosphorus porphyrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_porphyrin

    The porphyrin with a core phosphorus (V) ion can be tuned with additional substituents added to either the outside of the polycyclic ring system or axially to the core phosphorus. Meso-substituted porphyrins like meso-tetra-p-tolylporphyrin (TTP) and octaethylporphyrin (OEP) are often used in synthesis of the core phosphorus porphyrin.

    Humanitarian assistance, meaning deliveries of food and other essentials, took up $9.4 billion, while $7.2 billion was allocated to health care. Another $3.7 billion went to administrative costs.

  9. Tetrapyrrole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapyrrole

    Porphyrins, including heme, the core of hemoglobin; Chlorins, including those at the core of chlorophyll. Cyclic tetrapyrroles having three one-carbon bridges and one direct bond between the pyrroles include: Corrins, including the cores of cobalamins, when complexed with a cobalt ion.
