1. Porphyrins are complex organic compounds composed of four modified pyrrole subunits linked by methylene bridges. They are synthesized partly in the mitochondrion and cytosol of cells like erythrocytes and hepatic cells. 2. Biosynthesis of porphyrins involves several steps starting with the formation of δ-aminolevulinic acid from glycine and succinyl-CoA, which then combines to form porphobilinogen and other intermediates culminating in protoporphyrin IX. 3. Protoporphyrin IX then combines with ferrou
