Proteins do not need to be surrounded by water to carry out their vital biological functions, according to scientists from the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS) in Grenoble, the University of ...

‌Your body is a complex system of bones, skin, organs, chemicals, and more. Among the chemicals are special proteins known as hemeproteins (or hemoproteins), which are made of amino acids and iron.

Scientists report that myoglobin may protect against the stresses of tumor growth. Myoglobin plays an important role in muscle cells by both transporting oxygen and preventing cell damage by ...

HOUSTON -- (Sept. 25, 2015) -- The ultra-stable properties of the proteins that allow deep-diving whales to remain active while holding their breath for up to two hours could help Rice University ...

Nitric oxide generated from the nitrite ion limits the tissue damage caused by restricted blood flow. Gene knockout experiments in mice now reveal that myoglobin is the mediator of this effect. All ...

Professor Jonathan Wittenberg used this model of sperm whale myoglobin structure as a teaching tool at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in the Bronx. It was used beginning ...

In the present study myoglobins isolated from several kinds of abnormal muscle have been compared to normal adult and fetal myoglobins by means of methods developed for the characterization of normal ...

Proteins do not need to be surrounded by water to carry out their vital biological functions, according to new research. Scientists used a state of the art neutron scattering technique to demonstrate ...
