title: Cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes inactivation by uroporphyrin in light and darkness.
abstract: The effect of uroporphyrin I (UI) on several cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes (succinyl CoA synthetase, delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, rhodanese, lactate dehydrogenase) has been examined. All the enzymes were inactivated in the presence of the porphyrin both in the dark and under UV light.
