Abstract excerpt
THB1 is a monomeric truncated hemoglobin from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the absence of exogenous ligands and at neutral pH, the heme group of THB1 is coordinated by two protein residues, Lys53 and His77. THB1 is thought to function as a nitric oxide dioxygenase, and the distal binding of O2 requires the cleavage of the Fe-Lys53 bond accompanied by protonation and expulsion of the lysine from...
