The chemical reactions and pathways involving any member of a large group of derivatives or analogs of porphyrin. Porphyrins consists of a ring of four pyrrole nuclei linked each to the next at their alpha positions through a methine group. The chemical reactions and pathways involving heme a, a derivative of heme found in cytochrome aa3. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of heme a, a derivative of heme found in cytochrome aa3. The chemical reactions and pathways involving heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of heme a, a derivative of heme found in cytochrome aa3. The chemical reactions and pathways involving pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin.
