Photochemistry of metalloporphyrins

Metalloporphyrins serve many functions in biological systems. Their important roles in the reduction of oxoanions such as nitrite and sulfite in bacteria and in the oxidation of organic substrates by cytochrome P450 has prompted our current investigations into the photochemistry of several metalloporphyrin oxoanion complexes. The use of photochemistry with model systems in the laboratory opens new avenues for the direct production of proposed active species in the biological systems.
