A model of hemoglobin at low resolution. The alpha chains in this model are yellow, the beta chains are blue, and the heme groups red. From Stryer, Biochemistry who adapted the picture from M. F. Perutz, The Hemoglobin Molecule (1964). (Click to enlarge.)

Globular proteins have no systematic structures. There may be single chains, ... Hemoglobin consists of four protein chains and four heme groups that carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissue cells. Myoglobin consists of a single protein chain with 153 amino acids and one heme group that stores oxygen in the muscle cells.

Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carries carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. ... Students often confuse this with the concept of a helix and b sheet secondary structures. But, in fact, both the a and b globin chains contain primarily a helix secondary structure...
