July 25th Inland Empire Creation Science Association
The Inland Empire Creation Science Association presents Ross Anderson, Ph.D. speaking on: “ Hemoglobin: A Precision Designed Protein" Hemoglobin is probably one of the most familiar of proteins; it is so common that and familiar that we often take it for granted. Yet, all of life depends on it. How much do we really know about our very lives depend moment to moment on this average sized protein? How many of us know that from very early in embryonic development we depend on hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is beautifully designed to carry out its functions under a variety of different conditions. While most know hemoglobin is essential in delivering oxygen to the tissues from the lungs, it is also instrumental in helping to maintain proper acid-base balance in the blood, and for delivery of other compounds such as nitric oxide. Hemoglobin consists of four subunits. The subunits are encoded by separate genes on different chromosomes, yet they are coordinately regulated to provid...
