The 14 pages that link to Porphyrin, each with the reason it gives.

• AromaticityBroader topic: Porphyrins extend aromatic delocalization across a larger, chemically important framework.

• ChlorophyllRelated: Chlorophyll’s light-absorbing head has a related tetrapyrrole ring structure.

• Heterocyclic compoundRelated: Porphyrin rings bind metals in heme and chlorophyll.

• HemeBroader topic: Its nitrogen atoms hold heme’s iron at the center of the ring.

• BilirubinNarrower topic: Bilirubin retains a tetrapyrrole framework but differs from intact porphyrins in structure and color.

• PyrroleBroader topic: Pyrrole units form the structural foundation of porphyrins and their metal complexes.

• Chlorophyll aNarrower topic: Chlorophyll a’s light-absorbing head is a modified porphyrin-like macrocycle.

• Richard WillstätterRelated: Willstätter's degradation studies helped establish the porphyrin-like framework of chlorophyll.

• PhotosensitivityRelated: Accumulated porphyrins can absorb light and generate skin-damaging reactive molecules.

• Cutibacterium acnesRelated: Porphyrins produced by the bacterium can promote oxidative stress in acne lesions.

• PorphyriaBroader topic: Porphyrins accumulate in several forms of porphyria and can make skin light-sensitive.

• Hans FischerNarrower topic: Porphyrin structure unified Fischer’s investigations of hemin and chlorophyll.

• BiliverdinRelated: Heme’s porphyrin framework is opened during the reaction that forms biliverdin.

• Harderian glandRelated: Porphyrins accumulate in the secretions of some rodents’ Harderian glands.
