BioCyc:HEMEOSYN-RXN

This reaction synthesizes heme O, a prosthetic group essential for the catalytic functions of cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase.

heme o biosynthesis

ferroheme b(2-)[C34H30FeN4O4] + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate[C15H25O7P2] + H2O[H2O] = ferroheme o[C49H56N4O5Fe1] + diphosphate(3-)[HO7P2]
