Hemoglobin (haemoglobin, [a] Hb or Hgb) is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transportation of oxygen in red blood cells. Almost all vertebrates contain hemoglobin, [ 3 ] with the sole exception of the fish family Channichthyidae . [ 4 ]
HB SS which is the most common and severe form of sickle cell. Hb SC is due to inheriting Hb S from one parent and Hb C (hemoglobin C) from the other parent. Hb S beta thalassemia is the least common and is experienced in patients who have inherited beta thalassemia hemoglobin from one parent and HbS from the other. [17]
The cell membrane is composed of proteins and lipids, and this structure provides properties essential for physiological cell function such as deformability and stability of the blood cell while traversing the circulatory system and specifically the capillary network. In humans, mature red blood cells are flexible biconcave disks.

This leads to amino acid substitutions in the hemoglobin molecule that could affect the structure, properties, and/or the stability of the hemoglobin molecule. There are over 1,000 naturally occurring structural variants of hemoglobin in humans.
Leghemoglobin is a molecular similar in structure to myoglobin that is currently being used in artificial meat products, such as the Impossible Burger, to simulate both the color and taste of meat. [10] Similar in function to hemoglobin, leghemoglobin contains trace amounts of iron, but it is primarily found in plant roots. [11]

Binding of oxygen to a heme prosthetic group. Heme (American English), or haem (Commonwealth English, both pronounced /hi:m/ HEEM), is a ring-shaped iron-containing molecular component of hemoglobin, which is necessary to bind oxygen in the bloodstream.
