Heme is an essential part of the protein hemoglobin, which colors human blood red. Heme also is crucial for cytochrome proteins, which power the cell. Humans, animals, plants and bacteria all use heme.

Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis described for the first time the structure of a bifunctional protein which transports heme and attaches it to cytochromes. The study led by Robert Kranz, professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, captured two conformational states, allowing scientists to characterize the enzyme mechanisms.
