A novel, simple, rapid, sensitive and reproducible microassay is described for determination
of myoglobin and hemoglobin content of myocardial and skeletal muscle biopsy specimens …

Haemoglobin (Hb) is the tetrameric protein molecule that in vertebrate blood transports
oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. This function depends on four subuits in the molecule …

The tetrameric haemoglobins of vertebrates are encoded by α-and β-globin gene families
which arose during evolution by a succession of gene duplications, commencing with an αβ …

Globins are haem‐proteins that bind O2 and thus play an important role in the animal's
respiration and oxidative energy production. However, globins may also have other …

Neuroglobin and cytoglobin are two novel members of the vertebrate globin family. Their
physiological role is poorly understood, although both proteins bind oxygen reversibly and …

The functional, spectral, and structural properties of elephant myoglobin and the L29F/H64Q
mutant of sperm whale myoglobin have been compared in detail by conventional kinetic …

The distal E7 histidine in vertebrate myoglobins and haemoglobins has been strongly
conserved during evolution and is thought to be important in fine-tuning the ligand affinities …

Rational design of novel as well as improved cellular biocatalysts by genetic manipulation of
cellular metabolism has recently attracted considerable interest. A wide range of bacteria …

Oxygen-transport proteins are multisubunit, circulating molecules that provide an efficient
supply of oxygen to metabolically active metazoans. Hemoglobins, hemerythrins and …

The geometries of the Fe–O2 and Fe–CO bonds in myoglobin and haemoglobin differ
significantly from those in free porphyrin model compounds1–6. It has been suggested that …
