Abstract excerpt
Heme dissociations disrupt function and structural integrity of human hemoglobin and trigger various cardiovascular complications. These events become significant in methemoglobins that have undergone autoxidation of ferrous into ferric heme. We have structurally characterized the heme disassociation pathways for adult tetrameric methemoglobins using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. These reveal that...
