Hemeproteins as a group are so named because they contain the heme prosthetic group in which iron is coordinately bound within a porphyrin ring. The iron is the reactive center of the protein and is needed for whatever redox reactions the protein catalyzes. Hemeproteins are involved in oxygen transport (hemoglobin) and energy production in mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase).
