Hemoglobin is made up of four protein chains called globins. Two of the globins are called alpha chains and two are called beta chains. Each globin has a compound with an iron molecule in the middle called a heme group. The iron molecule is what binds to oxygen to carry it through your...

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four...doi:10.1007/978-3-319-56782-2_39-2Nathan D. Zasler...
Hemoglobin is made up of four globin chains that are connected together. The normal adult hemoglobin (Hb) contains two alpha-globin chains and two beta-globin chains (HbA, α2β2). In fetuses and infants, beta-globin chains are not common and the hemoglobin is made up of two alpha ...
Hemoglobin is a protein molecule present in red blood cells. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein (tetramer) chains: two alpha chains and two beta chains. Hemoglobinopathies (Diseases of Hemoglobin Production or Structure): Sickle Cell Anemia (HbS) - Sickle cell anemia is caused by a...
Hemoglobin is a protein and the major component found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin is made up of four polypeptide chains: two alpha chains and two beta chains. Each of these polypeptide chains is bound to a heme group. In the center of each heme group is an organic compound ca...

In fetuses and infants, beta chains are not common and the hemoglobin molecule is made up of two alpha chains and two gamma chains. As the infant grows, the gamma chains are gradually replaced by beta chains, forming the adult hemoglobin structure. Each globulin chain contains an important iro...
About 90% of hemoglobin is hemoglobin A (the "A" stands for adult type). Although one chemical component accounts for 92% of hemoglobin A, approximately 8% of hemoglobin A is made up of minor components that are chemically slightly different. These minor components include hemoglobin A1c, A1...
of hemoglobin is discovered, it is first assigned a name, usually named after the location where it was discovered. Then a formula is determined to list the types of molecules that make up the new type of hemoglobin. The formula consists of Greek letters to designate the basic polypeptide...
