Is there more to the hydrophobic active site of myoglobin/hemoglobin than stabilizing oxy-heme?.We think so. check out.

Fellow bio-inorganic chemists, we think the hydrophobic pocket in hemoglobin/myoglobin not only prevents auto-oxidation of the heme (stabilize the oxy-heme) but also helps keep the active site five co-ordinate high spin which is vital for oxygen binding.

@IndiaDST @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI @DBTIndia DSIR certificate provides BCD exemption to public funded research institutes as per notification 51/96-customs. But the notification does not use the description "chemicals" it uses "consumables". A clarification in that regard is needed.

Prices of chemicals in laboratory we use shot up two to three times. Some suppliers have already adapted this new tax rate. Please tell me this is a typo. @IndiaDST @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI @DBTIndia please look into this.
