title: Unprecedented overmetabolism of a porphyrinogen substrate by coproporphyrinogen oxidase.
abstract: Harderoporphyrinogen-I is metabolized by avian hemolysate preparations of coproporphyrinogen oxidase to give a trivinylic product; this unprecedented 'overmetabolism' of the porphyrinogen substrate provides strong support for a proposed model of the active site of this poorly understood enzyme.
