Haemoglobin Allestory: The Structural Pathway

  • Undated
Unknown
Rightsholder

This silent film of 3-D, computer generated images of the hemoglobin (haemoglobin) molecule was presumably created by Max Perutz or his laboratory following his discovery of the structure of hemoglobin. It shows the allosteric changes that the hemoglobin protein undergoes when an oxygen molecule binds to one site and changes the structure and function of the rest of the molecule.

This file was created from a VHS videocassette but the original medium was likely film. The quality of the image has unfortunately degraded over time and some text is illegible.
