Hemoglobin is a complex protein that is synthesized by certain living organisms from building blocks called amino acids. The organisms genetic code instructs the cells machinery how to synthesize the hemoglobin (DNA-->RNA-->amino acids). Without these organisms to make the molecule, it would not exist in nature.
Iron (Fe) is a fundamental element in the universe (found in the Periodic Table of elements) that is found even in the absence of life.
The hemoglobin protein, due to its unique properties, incorporates Iron into its structure. Without Iron, the hemoglobin molecule would still exist, but it would not be able to bind and transport oxygen through the blood to the tissues.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between deoxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin?
Reduced hemoglobin does not have the oxygen molecules that oxyhemoglobin has. :)
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
What mineral is found in hemoglobin?
Iron. This element is found at the center of each hemoglobin molecule.
What element is found in the bloods hemoglobin?
The elements of hemoglobin are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, iron, and oxygen. The chemical formula is C738H1166N812O203S2Fe
What is oxidation state of iron in hemoglobin?
The oxidation state of iron in hemoglobin is +2, known as ferrous iron. This form of iron allows hemoglobin to bind and transport oxygen in the blood.
Which element is included in hemoglobin molecule?
i think that hemoglobin is combination of iron and other minerals in body(human)
How much iron is in 1 gram of hemoglobin?
There is approximately 3.47 mg of iron in 1 gram of hemoglobin.
What is found in the center of a hemoglobin molecule?
Iron is the element found at the centre of haemoglobin.
How many iron one hemoglobin contain?
One molecule of hemoglobin has 4 iron ions.
What type of bond is present between oxygen and hemoglobin?
The bond between oxygen and hemoglobin is a reversible coordination bond formed between the iron atom in the heme group of hemoglobin and the oxygen molecule. This bond allows hemoglobin to transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.
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 is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
The difference in electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S is due to a single amino acid substitution. In hemoglobin S, a glutamic acid is replaced by a valine at position 6 of the beta-globin chain. This change causes hemoglobin S to have a different charge, leading to its characteristic migration pattern on electrophoresis.
