Abstract excerpt
Specific sensing of gas molecules such as CO, NO, and O2 is a unique function of gas sensory hemoproteins, while hemoproteins carry out a wide variety of functions such as oxygen storage/transport, electron transfer, and catalysis as enzymes. It is important in gas sensory proteins that the heme domain not only recognizes its target molecule but also discriminates against other gases having similar molecular...
