myoglobin

After three to eight hours, myoglobin may start to show up in the blood plasma.

Myoglobin is dark red because of its iron content.

They all start with a meat protein called myoglobin.

Myoglobin was the first protein to have its three-dimensional structure revealed.

It has a high affinity for myoglobin, about 60 times greater than that of oxygen.

The body needs iron to make the proteins hemoglobin and myoglobin.

Two years later, the protein structure of myoglobin confirmed such specific 3D relationships.

This gave the opportunity for four lines of fish to even lose their myoglobin genes by a similar process.

Myoglobin is present in muscle cells as a reserve of oxygen.

Myoglobin released into the blood results in dark urine.

The most important problem is the accumulation of myoglobin in the kidney tubules.

Myoglobin, by nature, has a higher oxygen affinity than hemoglobin.

The red muscle is aerobic and needs a lot of oxygen, which supplied by myoglobin.

Myoglobin is a protein that is able to bind oxygen.

This is because tuna muscle tissue contains greater quantities of myoglobin.

Muscle cells also contain more myoglobin, which has a high affinity for oxygen.

The myoglobin can clog up the kidneys, causing acute failure.

The urine may be dark, often described as "tea-colored", due to the presence of myoglobin.

The higher the myoglobin concentration in skeletal muscle, the longer the animal can stay underwater.

About 4% is bound up in myoglobin molecules.

Older birds have more myoglobin, he said, because they have used their muscles more.

"Red-meat animals that don't fly have lots of myoglobin," he said.

The dark color comes from the protein myoglobin, which plays a key role in oxygen uptake within cells.

This is a common ligand for many hemeproteins including hemoglobin and myoglobin.
