Hemoglobin from bovine blood , (1 G )

General description

Hemoglobin is the major component of red blood cells and is responsible for their red color. Its normal concentration in erythrocytes is 34%. Hemoglobin is a globular protein with α and β chains with each 141 and 146 amino acids, respectively. It exists as a tetramer with each monomer having a heterocyclic porphyrin ring with iron constituting the heme.

Application

Hemoglobin from bovine blood has been used in:
• standard curve generation for the quantification of intraparenchymal hemorrhage and parenchymal hemorrhage in spinal cord homogenate using Drabkin′s assay, Quadrupole-Ion Mobility-Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry 
•  the generation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to mimic high molecular-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) in crystallization studies
