An active site at work – the role of key residues in C. diphteriae coproheme decarboxylase

Coproheme decarboxylases (ChdCs) are utilized by monoderm bacteria to produce heme b by a stepwise oxidative decarboxylation of the 2- and 4-propionate groups of iron coproporphyrin III (coproheme) to vinyl groups. This work compares the effect of hemin reconstitution versus the hydrogen peroxide-me...
