Expanded, Contracted & Isomeric Porphyrins Henry C. NSF National Young Investigator AwardThe porphyrins are a class of naturally occurring macrocycles and are ubiquitous in our world. As such, they have been called the Pigments of Life. This auspicious designation reflects their importance in numerous biological functions. Indeed, life as we understand it relies on the full range of biological processes that are either performed by or catalyzed by porphyrin containing proteins.
