This heme prosthetic group consists of four 5-membered pyrrole rings, forming a cyclic ring around a central iron (Fe) atam.  This iron atom is contained within four equatorial nitrogens, in addition to another nitrogen from a close histidine residue and an opposite dioxygen (Ref 9).  More specifically, the ligand contact residues are Phe30, His63, and Val67 (Ref 7).  ***Add a section about H-bonding of the ligand with the Lb and how the heme group fits into the molecule***
