Hemoglobin Cube

The Molecule that Makes Life Worthwhile

Hemoglobin is the iron-bearing protein that most animals use to carry oxygen from their lungs to their muscles, or wherever it's needed for metabolism. It's the most important part of red blood cells, and it's iron is what makes them red.

This sculpture, etched in a heavy 3 1/4" glass cube, shows hemoglobin's beautiful structure: the four heme groups each with its iron atom, the two alpha and two beta subunits, and the translucent molecular surface over all. It is a big sculpture, not a small one.

As well as being handsome and useful, hemoglobin is a star of scientific history. With its close relative myoglobin, it was the first protein to have its 3D structure determined by X-ray crystallography. Max Perutz and John Kendrew at Cambridge University received the Nobel Prize in 1962 for doing it. Data for this sculpture comes from the Protein Data Bank, where several hemoglobin structures are available. This one is 1A0Z, due to Dr. Arthur Arnone at the University of Iowa.

The Hemoglobin Crystal comes with clear rubber feet to prevent scratches on your desk or mantel. Without a stand, it works best against a dark background.

Bottom line, this is one of the most impressive things we have ever seen. It will take your breath away. And that we will guarantee! The pictures just do not bring out the beauty of this cube.

Overseas books are air mail unless the weight is prohibitive, in which case you will have the option of surface (ship) or paying a bit extra for air mail. All prices are in U.S. dollars. If you are overseas and want something other than normal air mail - contact us when you make the purchase. For any questions, please contact us at sales@TheDNAStore.com.

We do accept purchase orders!
