About Oxygen-binding and sensing proteins

Oxygen-binding proteins are among the most studied of all proteins. Recent developments emphasized structure and function of globins and oxygen-related proteins, and highlighted their multiple roles in natural environments and disease and their importance in globin evolution.

This collection provides a snapshot of the work presented at the meeting on Oxygen-binding and sensing proteins held in Sheffield, UK, in July 2014. The meeting was the 18^th on this topic and included more than 50 lectures and 30 posters. 

All contributors at the meeting are invited to submit their papers.
