Such a #tetrapyrrole #TPDG discussion group surely has a lot of #photobiology in it 😋

Just before the start of term @tcddublin.bsky.social Karolina, Liam and Sophie escaped to Berlin 🇩🇪 to attend the #TPDG #tetrapyrrole discussion group meeting @humboldtuni.bsky.social 😀 As always a great small meeting!

Schematic diagram showing the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway starting from 5-aminolevulinic acid and branching at the point of protoporphyrin IX to chlorophyll/bacteriochlorophyll and heme/bilin biosynthetic pathways. Solid and dotted arrows indicate single and multiple enzyme steps, respectively. The chemical structures of representative tetrapyrroles are depicted. The conjugated regions are highlighted.
