As a Transport Protein


Proteins are compounds that are beneficial to humans, one of which is for the transport process in which a protein that plays a role is twofold, namely hemoglobin and myoglobin in which plays the same but different placements in the blood of the one in the muscle cells but their functions the same as the binding of oxygen and circulate or in transport
Hemoglobin is metaloprotein (iron-containing protein) in red blood cells that serves as a carrier of oxygen from the lungs throughout the body, in mammals and other animals. Hemoglobin is also the bearer of carbon dioxide back to the lungs to the body exhaled. Hemoglobin molecule consists of globin, Apoprotein, and four heme groups, an organic molecule with an iron atom. Mutations in these genes lead to a class of proteins hemoglobin decreased disease called hemoglobinopathy, among which the most common is sickle cell anemia and thalassemia,
Myoglobin is a monomeric protein tertiary function is to keep a back up oxygen in skeletal muscle cells (striated muscle). Protein is made up of approximately 154 amino acid sequence and contains a single heme group (porphyrin chains containing one iron atom). Gena which encodes the protein myoglobin consists of three exons. Myoglobin protein is composed of eight alpha chain named after the Latin alphabet (A through H). Myoglobin structure was first determined in 1958 by John Kendrew and his friends, so in 1962 he received the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Unlike hemoglobin which has four heme groups, myoglobin has only a single heme group that binds oxygen intracellular function. Cluster heme is bound by a histidine side chain, ie the chain near the histidine (proximal) that bind heme directly in the chain of hydrophobic proteins and histidine far (distal), which serves to stabilize the heme is bound oxygen.

  1. As described above that kaandungan protein in hemoglobin and myoglobin can bind oxygen and take it and pass it on in our bodies
    What I question the usual protein contained in hemoglobin and myoglobin that bind one oxygen atom in a water content that bias separating atom and atom h o and h bias we take atoms are atoms that have very strong energy and harness its energy

    1. I'll try answer to your questin
      maybe hemoglobin which has four heme groups, while myoglobin has only a single heme group that binds to the intracellular oxygen function. Cluster heme is bound by a histidine side chain, the chain near the histidine (proximal) that bind heme directly in the chain of hydrophobic proteins and histidine far (distal), which serves to stabilize the heme bound to hemoglobin oksigen.jadi can not pick up or return the oxygen atom

      Hapus
  2. i will try to answer
    Hemoglobin has a heme group to bind oxygen is formed of four pyrrole groups are bonded to each other to form a bridge metene atom porphyrin and iron (Fe II) is coordinated by four N atoms of each group in the porphyrin pyrrole and one N atom of histidine groups of protein. Molecular oxygen (O2) will be bound to the iron atom.
    Hemoglobin likely can not bind oxygen from the water due to differences in the conditions.

  3. if you think I can not because of the difference between the oxygen absorbed by the body that is in the water if the water is in its O atom tungal and that in nature it is absorbed by the body of his two O atoms
