Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) is a clam that can be found in sulfide-rich muds in the coastal mangroves of the southwest coast of Puerto Rico. It contains three different hemoglobins in the gill tissue, hemoglobin I, ...

The clam Lucina pectinata is found in the sulfide-rich southwest coastal sediments of La Parguera, Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. This bivalve mollusk has developed a chemoautotrophic symbiotic relation with the bacteria ...

As a gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biochemistry in humans is of pivotal importance. One relevant reaction of H2S in our bodies is its interaction with hemeproteins. The threshold of its beneficial/harmful effects ...

The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...

Lucina pectinata is a large bivalve that belongs to the family Lucinidae; it is generally found in marine wetlands of the Caribbean, deeply burrowed in black mud with high sulfide concentrations. L. pectinata prokaryotic ...

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter involved in physiological and pathological processes in humans and animals. It is produced endogenously in humans through enzymatic pathways. H2S is associated with the ...
