What are the differences between collagen and hemoglobin?

Collagen is a long fibrous structural protein. A molecule of collagen contains three of the helical subunits coiled around each other in what is known as a coiled-coil. Hemoglobin on the other hand is a globular protein that contains a heme group. Four globular subunits make up hemoglobin and each contain an iron in order to hold the oxygen for transport.


Is collagen an example of globular protein?

No, collagen is a Fibrous protein. An example would be insulin.


What is the special protein that transport oxygen?

hemoglobin


What proteins are in globular proteins?

There are two class of protein based on their structure namely fibrous and globular. Globular proteins form a globe like spherical structure in contrary to rod like fibrous proteins (collagen). They are soluble in water and the structure is rendered by its three dimensional arrangement of amino acids in solution. Most of the enzymes, soluble hormones and factors fall into this class of proteins.


What differences do hemoglobin and hair proteins have?

They have different structure types. Hemoglobin is a globular protein, where it has a globular shape from the folding of amino acids by the hydrophobic effect. alpha-Keratin (the protein in hair), on the other hand, has a helical structure, with a repeating pattern of amino acids. Hemoglobin does not have a continuous repeating pattern of amino acids.


Globular protein example?

Hemoglobin, Enzymes, Antibodies, Transporters in Membranes, Some Hormones (e.g. Insulin)


Is hemoglobin consider as globular protein and conjugated protein?

haemoglobin is considered as globular protein because it has ametabolic functions and considered as conjugated protein because it cosisted of protein and non protein moiety


How is the manufacture of hemoglobin linked to genes in humans?

Haemoglobin is a globular protein. DNA controlled the production of enzyme indiretly.


What does the hemoglobin in blood contain?

Hemoglobin is made up of heme and globular protein. The heme contains iron inside a ring of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen molecules. The protein chains are complex helical structures.


In order for oxygen to be carried on the red blood cell the iron must be in the?

The name hemoglobin is derived from the words heme and globin, reflecting the fact that each subunit of hemoglobin is a globular protein with an embedded heme or iron group.


Does hemoglobin contain the element cobalt?

No.In most vertebrates, the hemoglobin (or heamoglobin if you prefer) molecule is an assembly of four globular protein subunits. Each subunit is composed of a protein chain tightly associated with a non-protein heme group. Proteins are amino acid structures. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Each heme group contains one iron atom, that can bind one oxygen molecule. The heme in hemoglobin is Heme B which has the formula C34H32O4N4Fe. Note that Cobalt's chemical symbol is Co, and Co doesn't appear anywhere in hemoglobin's chemical formula.Note that there is a synthetic cobalt containing analog to hemoglobin. A coboglobin is a synthetic compound chemically similar to hemoglobin or myoglobin but using the metal cobalt instead of iron (hence the name).


Does hemoglobin have proteins?

Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein. Hemoglobin contains a hemo prosthetic group that has an iron atom at its center. When the iron is bound to oxygen, the hemo group is red in color (oxyhemogoblin), and when it lacks oxygen (deoxygenated form) it is blue-red.
