Crystallization and preliminary analysis of crystals of the 24-meric hemocyanin of the emperor scorpion (Pandinus imperator). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hemocyanins are giant oxygen transport proteins found in the hemolymph of several invertebrate phyla. They constitute giant multimeric molecules whose size range up to that of cell organelles such as ribosomes or even small viruses.

Identification and Characterization of the Lipid Transport System in the Tarantula Grammostola rosea [PDF]
, 2015 Lipids due to its hydrophobic nature are transported in the hemolymph mainly by lipoproteic fractions. In the present work we studied the lipoproteic fractions present in the hemolymph of the spider Grammostola rosea.

Antiviral activity of hemocyanins [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013 Hemocyanins are giant biological macromolecules acting as oxygen-transporting glycoproteins. Most of them are respiratory proteins of arthropods and mollusks, but besides they also exhibit protecting effects against bacterial, fungal and viral invasions.

The diversity and evolution of chelicerate hemocyanins
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Oxygen transport in the hemolymph of many arthropod species is facilitated by large copper-proteins referred to as hemocyanins. Arthropod hemocyanins are hexamers or oligomers of hexamers, which are characterized by a high O2 transport ...

Biophysical characterization of the structural stability of Helix lucorum hemocyanin
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021 The structural stability of the hеmocyanin purified from the hеmolymph of gаrden snаils Helix lucorum (HlH) was investigated by means of far-UV circular dichroism (CD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM ...

Copper isotope composition of hemocyanin
Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2022 Copper is a metal that plays a central role in biology, for example, as co-factor in various redox enzymes. Its stable isotopic composition is being used as tracer of its transport in living organisms and as a biomarker for diseases affecting its homeostasis.
