In the present study myoglobins isolated from several kinds of abnormal muscle have been compared to normal adult and fetal myoglobins by means of methods developed for the characterization of normal ...

Many people still believe the pink liquid that seeps from cooked steak is blood, but that’s a common misconception. The red color in both raw meat and the juices on your plate actually comes from a ...

Professor Jonathan Wittenberg used this model of sperm whale myoglobin structure as a teaching tool at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in the Bronx. It was used beginning ...

Some 50 years ago, after decades of effort, John Kendrew determined the structure of the small globular protein, myoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen storage in cells. For this discovery, he ...

Scientists report that myoglobin may protect against the stresses of tumor growth. Myoglobin plays an important role in muscle cells by both transporting oxygen and preventing cell damage by ...

Nitric oxide generated from the nitrite ion limits the tissue damage caused by restricted blood flow. Gene knockout experiments in mice now reveal that myoglobin is the mediator of this effect. All ...

A collaboration led by Distinguished Professor Dr. Kazunori Ikebukuro from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), Japan, discovered that G-quadruplex (G4)-forming DNA binds myoglobin ...
