Derek J. Chadwick & Kate Ackrill 
The Biosynthesis of the Tetrapyrrole Pigments [PDF ebook] 

Prestigious contributors summarize current knowledge regarding the biosynthesis of tetrapyrrole pigments–chlorophyll, haem, vitamin B12. Describes the structure and regulation of key enzymes along with various pathways, molecular genetic studies and structural characterization of the natural biosynthetic intermediates.
