Product 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 heterocyclic porphyrin ring with iron constituting the heme. Hemoglobin from bovine blood has been used in: • standard curve generation for the quantification intraparenchymal hemorrhage and parenchymal hemorrhage in spinal cord homogenate using Drabkin′s assay, Quadrupole-Ion Mobility-Time-of-Flight mass spectrometery • the generation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to mimic high molecular-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) in crystallization studies The solubility of α-elastin has been applied to construction of elastin-mimetic biomaterials.
