5-AMINOLEVULINATE SYNTHASE: CATALYSIS OF THE FIRST STEP OF HEME BIOSYNTHESIS

5-Aminolevulinate synthase is a homodimeric pyridoxal 5’-phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the heme biosynthetic pathway in animals, fungi, and the α-subclass of the photosynthetic purple bacteria. The reaction cycle involves condensation of glycine with succinyl-coenzyme A...
