I was wondering what are the steps in the biosynthesis of hemoglobin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two parts: Hemoglobin has two major parts, heme and globin. Globin is the protein and is synthesized like all other protein. Heme is a ring structure and has iron in it. Consult this site for info on heme metabolism. http://www.nbs.csudh.edu/chemistry/faculty/nsturm/che452/13_heme%20metabolism.htm.
