The 22 pages that link to Heme, each with the reason it gives.

• HemoglobinBroader topic: Each hemoglobin subunit holds oxygen at the iron atom in its heme group.

• Cytochrome P450Related: Its iron atom binds oxygen and enables P450 oxidation reactions.

• Carbon monoxideBroader topic: Carbon monoxide binds the iron in heme, especially within hemoglobin.

• IronBroader topic: Hemoglobin and myoglobin use heme iron to bind oxygen reversibly.

• Coordination chemistryBroader topic: Heme shows how a coordinated metal center supports oxygen transport and electron transfer.

• MyoglobinBroader topic: Its iron atom is the site where myoglobin binds oxygen.

• GlycineRelated: Glycine contributes carbon and nitrogen to the pathway that synthesizes its porphyrin ring.

• CYP3A4Related: Its heme iron binds oxygen and participates in CYP3A4's oxidation reactions.

• ArtemisininRelated: Parasite-digested hemoglobin releases heme iron that can activate artemisinin’s peroxide.

• BilirubinNarrower topic: Most bilirubin is generated when heme from aging red blood cells is dismantled.

• Flavin adenine dinucleotideCompared with: Heme transfers electrons through changes in iron oxidation state rather than flavin-ring reduction.

• Cytochrome c oxidaseRelated: Heme groups are essential catalytic cofactors in cytochrome c oxidase.

• ErythropoiesisRelated: Erythroid precursors assemble heme as the oxygen-binding component of hemoglobin.

• PorphyrinBroader topic: Heme is a prominent biological porphyrin whose iron enables oxygen binding and electron transfer.

• PyrroleBroader topic: Its porphyrin ring contains four pyrrole-derived subunits coordinating the central iron.

• Plant-based meatRelated: Heme-based ingredients can provide meat-like color and savory flavor.

• AromataseBroader topic: Aromatase’s heme iron helps activate oxygen during steroid conversion.

• PorphyriaRelated: Reduced heme production can alter regulation of the pathway and contribute to precursor accumulation.

• Hans FischerRelated: Hemin is an oxidized form of heme, the biological pigment central to Fischer’s blood-pigment research.

• Tu YouyouRelated: Iron from heme is thought to help activate artemisinin inside malaria parasites.

• BiliverdinNarrower topic: Biliverdin’s formation begins with the degradation of this iron-containing molecule.

• Meat alternativeRelated: Some plant-based burgers use heme ingredients to create savory, meat-associated flavors.
