Femtosecond spectroscopy studies of recombinant hemoglobin I of the clam Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791)
(2011)
Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) is a clam that can be found in sulfide-rich muds in the
coastal mangroves of the southwest coast of Puerto Rico. It contains three different
hemoglobins in the gill tissue, hemoglobin I, ...
The role of position E11 in the stabilization of the HbI-SH2 complex from L. pectinata
(2007)
The bivalve mollusk, Lucina pectinata, contains three hemoglobins: hemoglobin I (HbI) which is a H2S reactive protein, hemoglobin II (HbII) and hemoglobin III (HbIII) which deliver O2 to the organism. HbI is a monomeric ...
Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata: A model for hydrogen sulfide reactivity within hemeproteins
(2009)
The hemoglobin I (HbI) from the clam Lucina pectinata is an intriguing hemeprotein that binds and transports H2S to chemoautotrophic bacteria to maintain a symbiotic relationship and to protect the mollusk from H2S toxicity. ...
New crystallographic structures of Oxy-HbII-III and CN-HbII-III forms from Lucina pectinata
(2011)
The clam Lucina pectinata is found in the sulfide-rich southwest coastal sediments of La Parguera, Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. This bivalve mollusk has developed a chemoautotrophic symbiotic relation with the bacteria ...
Immobilization of myoglobin from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb1) from Lucina pectinata in hydrophilic polymer networks for H2S biosensor application
(2005)
Hemeproteins are known for their spectroscopic properties which change during
the binding of specific ligands. This project envisioned the immobilization of myoglobin
from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin I from ...
Expression and purification of Lucina pectinata recombinant hemoglobin II and the effect of the oxygen affinity on the heme pocket
(2009)
Lucina pectinata is a bivalve mollusk that inhabits sulfide rich sediments along, the west coast of Puerto Rico. This clam contains three hemoglobins that deliver and transport oxygen (HbII and III) and hydrogen sulfide ...
Effect of the E11 amino acid on the ligand binding in Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata
(2007)
Hemoglobin I (HbI) from Lucina pectinata (clam) is a protein that binds and transports H2S to the bacteria in the clam. HbI is one of the few known hemoglobins that carries H2S, toxic gas, in its active site, which contains ...
Description of the prokaryotic community in the bivalve Lucina pectinata in marine wetlands of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico!
(2011)
Lucina pectinata is a large bivalve that belongs to the family Lucinidae; it is generally found in marine wetlands of the Caribbean, deeply burrowed in black mud with high sulfide concentrations. L. pectinata prokaryotic ...
Surface characterization of chemically modified electrodes with gold nanoparticles and (His)6-rHbI from Luciana pectinata for H2S Detection
(2019-05-15)
The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...
Crystal structures of hemeproteins: Sulf and H2S myoglobin derivatives and Lucina pectinata Oxy (HbII-HbIII) and Oxy (HbIII-HbIII) systems
(2020-04-21)
As a gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biochemistry in humans is of pivotal importance. One relevant reaction of H2S in our bodies is its interaction with hemeproteins. The threshold of its beneficial/harmful effects ...
