Function The function of Hemoglobin is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the other parts of the body . Hemoglobin also help to carry carbon dioxide through the blood cells.Hemoglobin A which is a component of the red blood cells also help with the transportation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions to the lungs. Hemoglobin proteins are capable of carrying four molecules of Oxygen . Hemoglobin also help red blood cells to maintain their disc like shape , which allows them to move freely through the blood vessels. Disease Diseases associated with Hemoglobin are sickle cell anemia , Hemoglobin SC disease. Relevance Most of the understanding that of human physiology and pathology come from laboratory research that were performed on Hemoglobin. Structural highlights The first structure is a ball stick representing the approximate distance distance between two His 87 proximal and His distal 58 from the hemoglobin structure. The second scene consist of a full sturcture of the hemoglobin and all of its components. The third scene is From the Beta chain of the hemoglobin it is showing the distance from the proximal His 92 to the distal His 63 . This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
