Metalloporphyrins are widely used throughout the biosphere, and of these heme (iron protoporphyrin IX, Figure 1) is one of the most abundant and widely used. Heme shuttles electrons between proteins as in mitochondrial respiration or transports and stores O 2 as with the globins. The role of heme in more active enzymatic chemical transformations began to be appreciated just after the discovery by Mason (1) and Hayaishi (2) that O 2 O atoms can be enzymatically incorporated into organic substrates which represented the seminal discovery of oxygenases. While the enzymes used in these studies did not contain heme, it was not too long before heme-containing oxygenases also were discovered. In 1958 Klingenberg (3) and Garfinkel (4) found an unusual pigment in microsomes that when reduced in the presence of CO generated a spectrum with a peak at 450 nm instead of the expected 420 nm peak. Hence the name P450 was born. In 1964 Omura and Sato (5, 6) showed that this “pigment” is actually a protein and the function of this strange heme protein became clear in a seminal study by Estabrook et al.(7) that demonstrated the involvement of the 450 nm pigment in steroid hydroxylation. Thus by the mid-1960s it was established that heme plays an active role in biology by somehow catalyzing the hydroxylation of organic substrates. While these discoveries certainly mark the beginning of modern approaches to studying heme enzyme oxygenases, the enzymatic role of heme dates much earlier to 1903 when horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was described.(8) Indeed, owing to the ease of purification and stability of the various intermediates, HRP dominated heme enzyme studies until P450 was discovered.
