Аннотация:Heme proteins are a diverse group of metalloproteins that use an iron–porphyrincofactor to perform vital biological functions, including oxygen transport and storage,electron transfer (ET), catalysis, detoxification, sensing of O2, NO and CO and signaltransduction (Shimizu et al., 2015), and proton pumping and energy transduction. Theirfunctional diversity arises from precise control of the heme iron’s oxidation and spin state,coordination environment, and redox properties as dictated by the surrounding proteinmatrix (Popović and Đorđević, 2022; Zheng and Gunner, 2009). This Research Topicexplores the structural and functional diversity of heme proteins, emphasizing keyexperimental and computational methods for understanding their catalytic properties(Popović, 2022), physicochemical characteristics (Guberman-Pfeffer et al., 2024), andreaction mechanisms (Cai et al., 2020; Medvedev et al., 2008; Siletsky, 2023).DOI 10.3389/fchem.2026.1810989
