Preferred Label : porphyrins;
MeSH definition : A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected
by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are
attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin,
hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component
in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin.;
MeSH synonym : Porphyrin;
MeSH annotation : pigments; iron porphyrins HEME or HEMIN, magnesium porphyrins CHLOROPHYLL;
