The Influence of Body Size and Hemoglobin Multiplicity on Critical Oxygen Threshold in Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) [PDF]
Hypoxia is common in marine environments and fishes use a suite of cardiorespiratory adjustments to defend aerobic metabolism, including reducing standard metabolic rate (SMR), the minimum metabolic rate needed to sustain life at a specified temperature,

NIRS: So near yet so far (From the brain)
Cerebral oximetry is touted as a magic wand to detect cerebral hypoperfusion. Inability to completely exclude extracranial oxygen however is a limitation.

Iron status among blood donors deferred due to low haemoglobin level [PDF]
Background/Aim. Haemoglobin (Hb) determination is a routine part of the blood donor selection process. Previously reported studies have revealed that iron deficiency is common in frequent donors. This prospective investigation was aimed at examining iron

Subunit-Selective Interrogation of CO Recombination in Carbonmonoxy Hemoglobin by Isotope-Edited Time-Resolved Resonance Raman Spectroscopy [PDF]
Hemoglobin (Hb) is an allosteric tetrameric protein made up of αβ heterodimers. The α and β chains are similar, but are chemically and structurally distinct. To investigate dynamical differences between the chains, we have prepared tetramers in which the

Comparison of Hemoglobin Correction Effects According to Storage Period and Other Factors in the Transfusion of Packed Red Blood Cells in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients [PDF]
Purpose Preterm infants frequently require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Storage RBCs undergo many changes during storage periods.

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

Anisotropic coarse-grained statistical potentials improve the ability to identify native-like protein structures [PDF]
We present a new method to extract distance and orientation dependent potentials between amino acid side chains using a database of protein structures and the standard Boltzmann device.

Effect of liganded hemoglobin S and hemoglobin A on the aggregation of deoxy-hemoglobin S.
The effect of the carbonmonoxy forms of Hb S and Hb A on the solubility and kinetics of the aggregation of deoxy-Hb S in concentrated phosphate buffer was studied. The delay time was prolonged exponentially when the ratios of CO-Hb S and CO-Hb A to deoxy-Hb S were increased.

Hemoglobin I: An Inherited Hemoglobin Anomaly [PDF]
Abstract A hitherto undescribed hemoglobin anomaly has been detected in a North Carolina Negro family. This new hemoglobin, designated type I, which has been electrophoretically characterized, was found in combination with normal adult A hemoglobin in 6 of 17 members of one family.

Truncated hemoglobins (trHbs) form a widely distributed family of proteins found in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Accumulating evidence suggests that trHbs may be implicated in functions other than oxygen delivery, but these roles are largely ...
