Fibronectin is a high-molecular weight (~440kDa) glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix that binds to membrane-spanning receptor proteins called integrins. Similar to integrins fibronectin binds extracellular matrix components such as collagen […]

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein composed of 238 amino acid residues (26.9 kDa) that exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet […]

Pardaxin is a peptide produced by the Red Sea sole that is used as a shark repellent. It causes lysis of mammalian and bacterial cells similar to melittin.

The globins are a family of globular proteins which are thought to share a common ancestor. These proteins all incorporate the globin fold a series of eight alpha helical segments. […]

Hemerythrin (also spelled haemerythrin; from Greek words αίμα = blood and ερυθρός = red) is an oligomeric protein responsible for oxygen (O2) transport in the marine invertebrate phyla of sipunculids […]

Hemocyanins (also spelled haemocyanins) are proteins that transport oxygen throughout the bodies of some invertebrate animals. These metalloproteins contain two copper atoms that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule (O2). […]

The coenzyme Q : cytochrome c — oxidoreductase sometimes called the cytochrome bc1 complex and at other times complex III is the third complex in the electron transport chain (EC […]

Peroxidases (EC number 1.11.1.x) are a large family of enzymes that typically catalyze a reaction of the form:ROOR’ + electron donor (2 e-) + 2H+ → ROH + R’OHFor many […]

The cytochrome complex or cyt c is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It belongs to the cytochrome c family of proteins. […]

Myoglobin is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. It is related to hemoglobin which is the iron- […]
