Evolution has adopted different strategies to solve the problem of transporting oxygen to respiring tissues, according to needs dictated by the environment. A thermodynamic analysis of haemoglobins of organisms living in extreme polar environments (mammals and fish) provides elegant examples of such adaptations.

Abstract
Evolution has adopted different strategies to solve the problem of transporting oxygen to respiring tissues, according to needs dictated by the environment. A thermodynamic analysis of haemoglobins of organisms living in extreme polar environments (mammals and fish) provides elegant examples of such adaptations.File in questo prodotto:
