A representation of the 3D structure of the protein myoglobin showing turquoise α-helices. This protein was the first to have its structure solved by X-ray crystallography. Toward the right-center among the coils, a prosthetic group called a heme group (shown in gray) with a bound oxygen molecule (red). Proteins are large biomolecules and ...
Storage protein. Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms. They are found in plant seeds, egg whites, and milk . Ferritin is an example of a storage protein that stores iron. Iron is a component of heme, which is contained in the transport protein, hemoglobin and in cytochromes .
Ionization and Brønsted character of N-terminal amino, C-terminal carboxylate, and side chains of amino acid residues The common natural forms of amino acids have a zwitterionic structure, with −NH + 3 (−NH + 2 − in the case of proline) and −CO − 2 functional groups attached to the same C atom, and are thus α-amino acids, and are the only ones found in proteins during translation ...
Umami (/ uː ˈ m ɑː m i / from Japanese: 旨味 Japanese pronunciation:), or savoriness, is one of the five basic tastes. It has been described as savory and is characteristic of broths and cooked meats.: 35–36 People taste umami through taste receptors that typically respond to glutamates and nucleotides, which are widely present in meat broths and fermented products.
Hemoglobin (haemoglobin, Hb or Hgb) is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transport of oxygen in red blood cells.Almost all vertebrates contain hemoglobin, with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae. Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory organs (lungs or gills) to the other tissues of the body, where it releases the oxygen to enable aerobic ...
Biology is the scientific study of life.[1][2][3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.[1][2][3] For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Another ...
A mango is an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica. It originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India.
