The 16 kDa polypeptide leghemoglobin consists of two main subunits, the main globin structure and the iron-encompassing heme (protoporphyrin XI) group. These two subunits form a molecule structurally similar to Myoglobin (Ref 1). The globin fold portion of the molecule is the standard globin secondary structure, a series of <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_640/Alpha_helices/1'>8 alpha helices</scene> (Ref 5). Depending on the species and specific type of Leghemoglobin, the primary amino acid sequence can differ some, but overall it is well conserved. | The 16 kDa polypeptide leghemoglobin consists of two main subunits, the main globin structure and the iron-encompassing heme (protoporphyrin XI) group.
