BiosynthesisandAnalysisofBilins

The term bilin is a collective one to describe a broad group of open chain tetrapyrroles and derives from the name “bile pigments” as the first of these compounds to be characterized were isolated from animal bile. These bilins, biliverdin (BV) and bilirubin (BR), are the sequential products of heme degradation (their green and yellow pigmentation can be detected during the discoloration of a bruise), with ......阅读全文
