Can anyone tell me anything about protein haemoglobin and portein collagen or were I can find any information on the two

Right if you are going to get anywhere academically you should become familiar with these websites

Wikipedia - general info but be careful can be wrong, good place to find links
RCSB Protein Data Bank - strucural info
PubMed Home - papers and journals some are free but you'll get more if you're academic institution is subscribed
Google - oh yes genius, you can find anything

Also look in your textbooks
Here is a very good biochem one
Amazon.co.uk: Molecular Biology of the Cell [Book and CD-ROM]: Books: Bruce Alberts

I seriously recommend purchasing/ getting this out of library I know the answer to this question is in there (I own it!)

Protein hemoglobin is found in red blood cells in the body. It's function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the body. Red cell hemoglobin picks up/binds oxygen in the lungs and when the blood travels to tissues, it exchanges the oxgyen that it is bound to for CO2 or carbon dioxide. When the red cells travel back to the lungs the CO2 is release and exhaled by the lungs. In patients with low hemoglobin levels-anemia-they become "winded" and tired because they are not getting enough oxygen to the body



Collagen is a structural protein and can be found in almost any tissue of the body... skin, nails, connective tissue such as ligaments, in the cornea... just to name a few

Hm... Hello KarenAK. I see you're quite new to the site and I've seen some of your posts. One thing to keep in mind it the date of the first post. You see, this thread was started on the 3 August 2007, which is 2 years ago. I don't think that the one who asked that question is still aound, especially if you can see that the number of posts remained at 12. :rolleyes:

Try looking at the date before posting, thanks. Your posting without looking revives old threads, which are generally considered outdated in some way, for the asker is most probably no longer here.
