The findings are significant for those interested in vitamin synthesis, plant biology, plant biochemistry, enzymology and heme proteins, he said. "It's important to understand this molecular ...

Thus, more basic metabolic defects in hemoglobin synthesis that have a unique dependency upon pyridoxine must exist. We have had the opportunity to study heme synthesis using reticulocytes from a ...

Deficient heme synthesis or function impacts the hematopoietic, hepatic and nervous systems in humans. Recent studies have revealed a series of heme-regulated transcription factors and signal ...

In the study, published in Nature, they revealed the catalytic role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide (O 2 •-) in the heme-catalase-mediated synthesis of ergot alkaloids (EAs), a group ...
