Haeme is an iron-containing compound found in a number of biologically important molecules. Haemoglobin and myoglobin are haeme-containing proteins that are involved in the transport and storage of oxygen. Haemoglobin is the primary protein found in red blood cells and represents about two thirds of the body’s iron. This large protein molecule makes up approximately 30% of the red blood cell. The vital role of haemoglobin in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body is derived from its unique ability to acquire oxygen rapidly during the short time it spends in contact with the lungs and to release oxygen as needed during its circulation through the tissues.
