Role and scope of porphyrin composites in biotechnology

In this chapter, the roles of porphyrins and their derivatives in daily life, their application areas, and their importance in medical imaging for target regions and cell detection are discussed. Porphyrins are structures that can adapt to biotechnological studies due to their structures. Therefore, it is of great importance in biotechnology, especially in medical imaging. Detection of the defective region in magnetic resonance imaging, determination of the target by moving the porphyrins using rays in the photoacoustic region, or the emergence of a colored label with the fluorescence technique are the most important advantages of porphyrins. Therefore, the importance of porphyrins in today's technology, especially in medical imaging, will support future technological studies.
