Hemoproteiineja
Hemoproteiineja are a class of proteins that contain a heme prosthetic group. Heme is a porphyrin ring with an iron atom at its center. This iron atom is crucial for the protein's function, as it can bind to various molecules, including oxygen, carbon monoxide, and electrons.
Hemoproteiineja are found in virtually all organisms, from bacteria to humans, and play a diverse range of
Cytochromes are another significant group of hemoproteiineja. These proteins are involved in electron transport chains, crucial
The structure of the heme group and its surrounding protein environment dictates the specific function of
