What else can I help you with?
Each heme region of a hemoglobin molecule contains an inorganic element called?
iron
What role does the heme group play in the hemeglobin?
No I can't answer it! That's why I asked you!
Each heme contains an atom of iron and can transport one molecule of oxygen?
Yes, each heme group within hemoglobin contains an iron atom that binds to a single oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin as a whole can carry up to four oxygen molecules at a time, with each of its four heme groups binding to one oxygen molecule.
What ion is an essential factor in hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin contains a heme group with an Iron ion attached to it. This iron is what binds to O2.
What Central ion is of each heme group?
iron
What is the subunit of haemoglobin?
The subunit of hemoglobin is a protein molecule made up of four polypeptide chains. These chains consist of two alpha chains and two beta chains, each with a heme group that contains iron, which binds to oxygen.
Which of the not a prosthetic group of nitrate reductase?
Nitrate reductase does not contain the prosthetic group heme. Instead, it typically contains molybdenum cofactor (Moco) and heme iron-sulfur center as prosthetic groups.
How many atoms are in haemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is a protein with 4 sub-units, each with a heme group that contains one iron atom in it. The iron atom is bound to the heme group by the four nitrogens in the center of the heme, and a histidine that lies beneath the heme group. That leaves a sixth binding site open on the iron to bind an oxygen.
Does hemoglobin contain the element cobalt?
No, hemoglobin does not contain the element cobalt. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that contains iron and is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Cobalt is not a component of hemoglobin.
What is the iron-containing portion of the hemoglobin molecule called?
The iron containing part of hemoglobin is the 'heme' molecule.
What makes up a hemoglobin molecule?
4 polypeptide chains, each containing a heme group with an iron atom attached
In sickle cell disease the hemoglobin contains an incorrect?
heme
