Evolutionary and Functional Relationships in the Truncated Hemoglobin Family [PDF]

, 2016
Predicting function from sequence is an important goal in current biological research, and although, broad functional assignment is possible when a protein is assigned to a family, predicting functional specificity with accuracy is not straightforward ...

Newly Discovered Occurrences and Gene Tree of the Extracellular Globins and Linker Chains from the Giant Hexagonal Bilayer Hemoglobin in Metazoans

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Multicellular organisms depend on oxygen-carrying proteins to transport oxygen throughout the body; therefore, proteins such as hemoglobins (Hbs), hemocyanins, and hemerythrins are essential for maintenance of tissues and cellular respiration. Vertebrate

Engineering tyrosine-based electron flow pathways in proteins: The case of aplysia myoglobin [PDF]

, 2012
Tyrosine residues can act as redox cofactors that provide an electron transfer ("hole-hopping") route that enhances the rate of ferryl heme iron reduction by externally added reductants, for example, ascorbate.

Transfusão de plaquetas: do empirismo ao embasamento científico Platelet transfusion: from empiricism to scientific evidence

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2010
Despite major advances in Brazilian blood transfusion therapy with a growing number of scientific publications, an increased number of repeat donors and a decline in serological ineligibility, a lack of conformity in the application of pre-transfusion ...

Nerve Globins in Invertebrates

IUBMB Life, 2004
AbstractThe expression of nerve hemoglobins in invertebrates is a well‐established fact, but this occurrence is uncommon. In the species where nerve globins occur, they probably function as an oxygen store for sustaining activity of the nerves during anoxic conditions.

Redox and Peroxidase Activities of the Hemoglobin Superfamily: Relevance to Health and Disease [PDF]

, 2016
Significance: Erythrocyte hemoglobin (Hb) and myocyte myoglobin, although primarily oxygen-carrying proteins, have the capacity to do redox chemistry. Such redox activity in the wider family of globins now appears to have important associations with the ...

Brain globins in physiology and pathology

Medical Gas Research, 2016
Globins are globular proteins for either transport or storage of oxygen which are critical for cellular metabolism. Four globins have been identified in rodent and human brains. Among them, neuroglobin, cytoglobin and hemoglobin chains are constitutively

Resonance Raman Spectroscopic Studies of Hydroperoxo Derivatives of Cobalt-substituted Myoglobin [PDF]

, 2008
Recent progress in generating and stabilizing reactive heme protein enzymatic intermediates by cryoradiolytic reduction has prompted application of a range of spectroscopic approaches to effectively interrogate these species.

Evolution and Expression of Tissue Globins in Ray-Finned Fishes

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016
The globin gene family encodes oxygen-binding hemeproteins conserved across the major branches of multicellular life. The origins and evolutionary histories of complete globin repertoires have been established for many vertebrates, but there remain major
