Structural and dynamic characterization of the hexa-coordinated globin from Spisula solidissima Open
High energy consumption in the nervous system requires a continuous supply of O2. This role is assisted by proteins from the globin super-family in the nerve cells of invertebrates, where 'nerve hemoglobins' (nHbs) are mainly present at mM…

Ontogeny of hemoglobin‑oxygen binding and multiplicity in the obligate air-breathing fish Arapaima gigas Open
The evolutionary and ontogenetic changes from water- to air-breathing result in major changes in the cardiorespiratory systems. However, the potential changes in hemoglobin's (Hb) oxygen binding properties during ontogenetic transitions to…
