1.3.98.3	coproporphyrinogen III + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = protoporphyrinogen IX + 2 CO2 + 2 L-methionine + 2 5'-deoxyadenosine	catalytic, radical mechanism	
1.3.98.3	coproporphyrinogen III + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = protoporphyrinogen IX + 2 CO2 + 2 L-methionine + 2 5'-deoxyadenosine	this enzyme differs from EC 1.3.3.3, coproporphyrinogen oxidase, by using S-adenosyl-L-methionine, AdoMet, instead of oxygen as oxidant, it occurs mainly in bacteria, whereas eukaryotes use the oxygen-dependent oxidase, the reaction starts by using an electron from the reduced form of the enzyme’s [4Fe-4S] cluster to split AdoMet into methionine and the radical 5’-deoxyadenosin-5’-yl, this radical initiates attack on the 2-carboxyethyl groups, leading to their conversion into vinyl groups. The conversion of –.CH-CH2-COO- leading to –CH=CH2 + CO2 + e- replaces the electron initially used, reaction mechanism	
1.3.98.3	coproporphyrinogen III + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = protoporphyrinogen IX + 2 CO2 + 2 L-methionine + 2 5'-deoxyadenosine	conversion of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX via the reaction intermediate harderoporphyrinogen. HemN contains a catalytically essential [4Fe-4S] cluster that transfers an electron to bound S-adenosyl-L-methionine, thereby producing methionine and a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical. This radical then abstracts a hydrogen atom from the beta-carbon of the substrate propionate side chain, resulting in the formation of a coproporphyrinogenyl radical, overview
