Myoglobinopathy is an adult-onset autosomal dominant myopathy with characteristic sarcoplasmic inclusions

Nature Communications, 2019
Myoglobin is a hemeprotein that reversibly binds oxygen and gives muscle its red color. Here, the authors report a genetic variant in the MB gene that associates with myoglobinopathy, an autosomal dominant progressive myopathy, and altered oxygen binding

Myeloperoxidase can differentiate between sepsis and non-infectious SIRS and predicts mortality in intensive care patients with SIRS

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2017
Background Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a clinical syndrome following inflammation. Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish SIRS following an infection, i.e., sepsis, from non-infectious SIRS.

Assessment of biochemical parameters and study its correlation in ß-Thalassemia major patients and healthy controls in Kirkuk City, Iraq

Medical Journal of Babylon, 2020
Background: Thalassemia is the name of a group of genetically (acquired) blood diseases, which include defects on the production of hemeprotein, and fractional or complete damage to the combination of a particular sort of simple protein chain. The defect

Cloning, Expression, and Purification of a Nitric Oxide Synthase-Like Protein from Bacillus cereus

Biochemistry Research International, 2010
The nitric oxide synthase-like protein from Bacillus cereus (bcNOS) has been cloned, expressed, and characterized. This small hemeprotein (356 amino acids in length) has a mass of 43 kDa and forms a dimer.

Hydrogen sulfide activation in hemeproteins: The sulfheme scenario [PDF]

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2014
Traditionally known as a toxic gas, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is now recognized as an important biological molecule involved in numerous physiological functions. Like nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), H2S is produced endogenously in tissues and cells and can modulate biological processes by acting on target proteins.

Evaluation of hemolysis effect on hemoglobin measurement by capillary electrophoresis

Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2019
Background Hemoglobin (Hb) is a hemeprotein with two linked pairs of globin chains. Each chain is connected to a heme residue in its center. Hemoglobinopathies are divided into quantitative and qualitative defects in globin synthesis.

Site-directed mutagenesis of cytochrome c(6) from Anabaena species PCC 7119. Identification of surface residues of the hemeprotein involved in photosystem I reduction.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
A number of surface residues of cytochrome c(6) from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7119 have been modified by site-directed mutagenesis. Changes were made in six amino acids, two near the heme group (Val-25 and Lys-29) and four in the positively ...

Glycation of heme-protein, “myoglobin” by 3-deoxyglucosone: Implications in immunogenicity

Journal of King Saud University: Science, 2020
The Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) like, 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) is a highly reactive intermediate of the glycation reaction which may result into the formation of protein advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), like myoglobin-AGEs (Mb-AGEs) which ...
