‌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.

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 ...

MOST muscles are composed of a mixture of two types of muscle fibre which can be shown to differ in myoglobin content. Slow type 1 fibres are narrow, contain numerous mitochondria and are poor in ...

Myoglobin—the first protein for which a 3D structure was determined by x-ray crystallography—still has some tricks up its sleeve, or in its pocket. This is the pocket into which myoglobin’s ...

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 ...

Scientists for the first time have precisely measured a protein's natural "knee-jerk" reaction to the breaking of a chemical bond -- a quaking motion that propagated through the protein at the speed ...
