Description: Hemoproteins play essential roles in various biological systems, including free-heme scavenging, oxygen transport, electron transfer, and catalysis. The complex nature of hemoproteins—particularly their bound and unbound states—has made bioanalysis and the understanding of related binding cascades challenging. By applying newly developed bioanalytical methods and corroborating data across complementary assays, we are beginning to gain a clearer picture of the binding dynamics between hemoproteins and free heme.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the function and prevalence of hemoproteins in binding cascades that protect the human body from hemolytic disease states.
  • Recognize the traditional challenges associated with analyzing hemoproteins and their bound/unbound states, and explore bioanalytical methods used to quantify free heme, heme–hemopexin complexes, and haptoglobin complexes.
  • Share emerging insights into the binding cascades and interaction tendencies of hemopexin, free heme, and other plasma proteins.
