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 the geometry distance between two Histidine from the hemoglobin structure
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.
