Molluscan mega-hemocyanin: an ancient oxygen carrier tuned by a ~550 kDa polypeptide
BACKGROUND: The allosteric respiratory protein hemocyanin occurs in gastropods as tubular di-, tri- and multimers of a 35 × 18 nm, ring-like decamer with a collar complex at one opening. The decamer comprises five subunit dimers. The subunit, a 400 kDa polypeptide, is a concatenation of eight paralo...
