Difference between Heme and Iron

Heme vs. Iron

Heme or haem is a coordination complex "consisting of an iron ion coordinated to a porphyrin acting as a tetradentate ligand, and to one or two axial ligands." The definition is loose, and many depictions omit the axial ligands. Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from ferrum) and atomic number 26.

Similarities between Heme and Iron

Heme and Iron have 27 things in common (in Unionpedia): Blood, Bohr effect, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Catalase, Catalysis, Cofactor (biochemistry), Colorectal cancer, Cysteine, Cytochrome, Electron transfer, Ester, Ferrous, Glycine, Hemoglobin, Histidine, Liver, Metalloprotein, Myoglobin, Oxygen, Peroxide, Phosphate, Pigment, Porphyrin, Radical (chemistry), Redox, Sulfur.

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Bohr effect

The Bohr effect is a physiological phenomenon first described in 1904 by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr: hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity (see Oxygen–haemoglobin dissociation curve) is inversely related both to acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide.

Catalase

Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as bacteria, plants, and animals).

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalysthttp://goldbook.iupac.org/C00876.html, which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly.
