We are happy to share a new publication of JCETeam by Amanda Bartkowiak et al. The study outcome is about heme proteins — tiny molecular machines that do some of the most vital jobs in our bodies — from carrying oxygen in our blood to protecting our cells from stress and generating energy.
In our latest study, we took a new approach to this old challenge. Using a technique called polarized resonance Raman spectroscopy — and a specific light wavelength (405 nm) that zeroes in on the heme group — we examined four key players: hemoglobin, cytoglobin, neuroglobin, and cytochrome c.
This method opens up exciting possibilities: it could one day help researchers identify these proteins in complex biological samples, track their changes under disease conditions, or even aid in diagnostics. In short, we’ve found a new way to "see" the hidden differences in some of the body's most essential molecules. See more:
