HEMOGLOBIN AND MYOGLOBIN.

Publisher Summary This chapter describes hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin and myoglobin are, among all proteins, ones that have been, and are, most actively studied; an enormous number of papers have been published over the past hundred years on all aspects of their properties and behavior. The study of these proteins has gone beyond the interest in their physiological role as oxygen carriers because they represent ideal models for investigating the properties of proteins in general, especially of enzymes. Correspondingly, current knowledge of the structure and function of hemoglobin and myoglobin is far greater than that available for any other protein. In spite of this, however, many questions still remain unsolved regarding the exact molecular mechanisms involved in the function of these proteins. Before discussing the properties of respiratory heme proteins, it is necessary to briefly describe some properties and reactions of their prosthetic group, mainly because the characteristic physiological functions of these proteins arise from the intrinsic reactivity of the heme.
