Binuclear iron-oxo proteins

The best characterized and thus prototypical of the binuclear iron-oxo proteins is hemerythrin (Hr), an oxygen carrier from some classes of marine invertebrates, such as sipunculids. The protein consists of several identical 13 kDa subunits which contain two iron atoms and reversibly bind one molecule of O2. Myohemerythrins contain a single 13 kDa subunit (25,26,27). [Pg.158]
