| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Heme contained in hemoglobin and others is an essential substance for most organisms. In the case of human, defect in its biosynthetic pathway enzyme causes a disease called porphyria. The patients of porphyria can not get outdoors on daytime in some cases due the increased light sensitivity that is general symptom of porphyria. In order to contribute to the drug discovery for porphyria and the treatment of patients, a detailed reaction mechanism of enzymes involved in heme biosynthesis was studied by using chemically synthesized analogs of substrate and slightly modified enzymes of function.
