Journal ArticleDOI
Blue myoglobin reconstituted with an iron porphycene shows extremely high oxygen affinity
TL;DR: The present study indicates that the replacement of native heme with an artificially created prosthetic group will give us a unique function into a hemoprotein.

TL;DR: The high O2 affinity and the unique characteristics of the myoglobin with the iron porphycene indicate that reconstitution with a synthesized heme is a useful method not only to understand the physiological function of myoglobin but also to create a tailor-made function on the protein.
