Environment effects on chemical reactivity of heme proteins

Heme proteins are involved in a variety of physiological processes, such as O 2 transport, electron transfer, sensing of O 2 or CO, and catalysis of redox reactions. Despite the differences in biologic function, all these proteins have iron protoporphyrin IX (heine b) as the active site. The amino a...
