(Philadelphia, PA) – Heme, the iron-bearing, oxygen-carrying core of hemoglobin, makes it possible for blood to carry oxygen, but researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine ...
A new study reveals that a peptide produced by some legumes helps them control nitrogen-fixing bacteria by sequestering all available heme, an iron-containing molecule. This sends the bacteria into an ...
Consuming iron-rich foods, alongside strategies that optimise iron absorption, can significantly prevent and manage iron deficiency.
Researchers described for the first time the structure of a bifunctional protein, called CcsBA, that transports heme and attaches it to cytochromes. The study captured two conformational states of ...
