Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata: A model for hydrogen sulfide reactivity within hemeproteins
(2009)
The hemoglobin I (HbI) from the clam Lucina pectinata is an intriguing hemeprotein that binds and transports H2S to chemoautotrophic bacteria to maintain a symbiotic relationship and to protect the mollusk from H2S toxicity. ...
Expression and purification of Lucina pectinata recombinant hemoglobin II and the effect of the oxygen affinity on the heme pocket
(2009)
Lucina pectinata is a bivalve mollusk that inhabits sulfide rich sediments along, the west coast of Puerto Rico. This clam contains three hemoglobins that deliver and transport oxygen (HbII and III) and hydrogen sulfide ...
Effect of the E11 amino acid on the ligand binding in Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata
(2007)
Hemoglobin I (HbI) from Lucina pectinata (clam) is a protein that binds and transports H2S to the bacteria in the clam. HbI is one of the few known hemoglobins that carries H2S, toxic gas, in its active site, which contains ...
Effect of the Histidine E7 amino acid in the sulfheme formation of the hemoglobin I from Lucina Pectinata
(2008)
Sulfhemoglobin is a non-functional derivative of hemoglobin known to be produced by exposure to sulfa drugs, air pollution and others. It is formed by the reaction between H2O2, H2S and the heme group in the presence of ...
