Myoglobin is distantly related to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin The protein in the red blood cells of vertebrates that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues and that consists of four polypeptide subunits, each of which is bound to an iron-containing heme molecule. Myoglobin A single-chain, iron-...
Myoglobin is a monomeric oxygen transporting and storing protein of muscle tissue. The protein is well characterised and considered the hydrogen atom of biology [1]. The structure of the protein comprises eight helices A–H. The cofactor, heme b, is embedded in a hydrophobic pocket between helic...
