Oxygen Complexes and Oxygen Activation by Transition Metals pp 49–60Cite as

Kinetics of Formation of Biological Oxygen Carriers

  • Chapter

Abstract

At this point in time, there are only three known types of resyijratory proteins involving only two transition elements (Chart I).1–4 These function to transport and store oxygen and therefore play a key role in biochemical processes. They can increase by up to one hundred fold the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues. The types include, reference to recentg reviews (a) the hemoglobins and myoglobins 5–7 the hemocyanins 8,9 and (c) the hemerythrins and myohemerythrins.10,11 In spite of their name, (b) and (c) do not contain the heme center.
