The diversity and evolution of chelicerate hemocyanins

BACKGROUND: Oxygen transport in the hemolymph of many arthropod species is facilitated by large copper-proteins referred to as hemocyanins. Arthropod hemocyanins are hexamers or oligomers of hexamers, which are characterized by a high O(2 )transport capacity and a high cooperativity, thereby enhanci...
