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

open access: yesNature 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

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

open access: yesBiochemistry 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.

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

open access: yesIntensive 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

open access: yesMedical 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

Effect of crowding on the electron transfer process from plastocyanin and cytochrome c6 to photosystem I: a comparative study from cyanobacteria to green algae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plastocyanin and cytochrome c 6, the alternate donor proteins to photosystem I, can be acidic, neutral or basic; the role of electrostatics in their interaction with photosystem I vary accordingly for cyanobacteria, algae and plants.

Heme and iron limitation in a GI-tract foundation species leads to a reshuffling of the metalloproteome and a shift toward manganese usage

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry
The metal-binding complement of the cellular proteome (the metalloproteome) depends on metal availability in the cellular environment and drives cellular metabolism.

Evaluation of hemolysis effect on hemoglobin measurement by capillary electrophoresis

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.
