Tetrapyrrole compounds: chlorophyll and heme groups By Erwin Lim 1. Tetrapyrrole compounds A tetrapyrrole compound is a chemical group that consists of four pyrroles that are joined together by covalent bonds‚ forming a porphyrin ring. They are naturally occurring pigments‚ which are used in many biological processes (Berg‚ 2009). The basic structure of a tetrapyrrole is as seen in Figure 1‚ while the basic structure of a pyrrole is as seen in Figure 2. Figure 1.Tetrapyrrole Compound (Berg‚ 2009)

The compound is the substance that can be two or more elements that can be changed. Water is a compound. It contains both Hydrogen and oxygen that can stand alone by itself. The mixture is when two different substances that are blended together. The air is a mixture of these elements carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen‚ and other stuff. Most mixtures are known to be naturally. The main difference between the compound and the mixture is how they are combined. In the pure substance‚ the only way to know if
