Popis: High-field NMR spectroscopic methods have been applied to study the reactions catalyzed by porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase and uroporphyrinogen III (uro'gen III) cosynthase, which are the enzymes responsible for the formation of the porphyrin macrocycle. The action of these enzymes in the conversion of PBG, [2,11-13C]PBG, and [3,5-13C]PBG to uro'gens I and III has been followed by 1H and 13C NMR, and assignments are presented. The principal intermediate that accumulated was the correspondingly labeled (hydroxymethyl)bilane (HMB), the assignments for which are also presented.
