    Abstract : The protein hemoglobin (Hb) is vital for us humans to ensure enough oxygen replacement in the body. Hb-resembling proteins also exist in plants, these are called phytoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are very interesting since they can play a considerable role in the development of blood substitutes and iron supplements for human use. READ MORE

    Abstract : Phytoglobin is a plant globin protein similar to hemoglobin, which is found in all vertebrates. Phytoglobin is categorized depending on its origin and characteristics into 6 different classes: phytoglobin class 0, phytoglobin class 1, phytoglobin class 2, symbiotic phytoglobin, legphytoglobin and phytoglobin class 3.
