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

• 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.

• 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.

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