Anemia with hypochromic red cells is generally attributable to impaired hemoglobin synthesis at one of several biochemical levels. In iron-deficiency anemia the substrate iron is in poor supply, and ...

Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) has emerged as a pivotal tool in microbial biotechnology, offering a novel means of enhancing oxygen utilisation in a range of biological systems. Owing to its high ...

The tangled mass of tubing, disks and light bulbs unveiled before a packed meeting of the Royal Society of scientists in London looked for all the world like an outsize example of abstract sculpture.

The respiratory proteins hemoglobin and hemocyanin share the function of oxygen transport, but the proteins belong to separate gene families, and their active sites and the metal ions that bind the ...

Heme is a coordination complex consisting of a porphyrin ring surrounding a single ferrous (Fe 2+) or ferric (Fe 3+) ion, able to bond with diatomic oxygen and transport it around the body. Four heme ...

Our ability to breathe oxygen is critical to our survival. This process is mediated by the hemoglobin in our blood, which carries oxygen. Since air contains less oxygen on high mountains, the body is ...

A family of Albanian descent had an unusual form of beta thalassemia. The father of two children with mild thalassemia major had normal red-cell morphology and normal levels of hemoglobins A 2 and F, ...
