molecular biology | a combination of both R- and K-gingipains is required for pigment production from oxyhemoglobin by Porphyromonas gingivalis since R-gingipain converts oxyhemoglobin into the methemoglobin form which is more susceptible to Kgp degradation for the eventual release of iron(III) protoporphyrin IX and production of the micro-oxo haem dimer | Porphyromonas gingivalis |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
Z-Phe-Lys-acyloxymethylketone | oxyhemoglobin-Kgp interactions resulting in formation of a hemoglobin hemichrome are inhibited by specific inhibitor Z-Phe-Lys-acyloxymethylketone | Porphyromonas gingivalis |
