Chemical synthesis and the combination with oxygen of heme
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Heme is an essential compound in the human body. This work includes two main research summaries of heme and the chemical nature of this organic compound. The first part of this work includes specific processes, enzymes that be used, and situations where the synthesis of heme takes place. The next part is about how heme binds with oxygen and carries these molecules in body tissues and the effects of pH and temperature in combination with oxygen. The last part introduces a heme-dependent enzyme called catalase and how heme functions in this enzyme. Overall, this work contains most facts and specific illustrations of heme synthesis and its primary function. The meaning of this essay is to illustrate the process when heme binding with oxygen in the aspect of chemistry and explain other facts and functions of heme in the chemistry aspect.
Keywords
