What does blood do? » Blood is a vitally important fluid for the body. One of the things it does is transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body, where it is needed for metabolism. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Nitrogen binding to deoxyhemoglobin at high pressures and its relation to changes in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity - PubMed » The stoichiometric and thermodynamic properties of nitrogen (N2) binding to human deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) at N2 saturation pressures up to 400 atm were derived from measured N2 solubilities in protein-free buffers (pH 7.1) and in corresponding buffer + Hb (6.5% w/w) solutions at 20.0, 25.0, and 37.0 de … Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Exploring Greener Approaches to Nitrogen Fixation » Brookhaven Lab chemists and other experts in nitrogen research have identified several potential routes for transforming nitrogen that are more environmentally and energy-friendly than today’s chemical processes. Bnl.gov

Oxygen Transport » Some general comments about gas exchange and diffusion will be made, followed by a description of how oxygen is carried in the blood. The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin will be discussed, including the oxygen saturation (or dissociation) curve and factors (allosteric effectors) which cause it to shift. Next, a discussion of the effects of carbon monoxide on oxygen binding will be presented. Finally, a description of artificial oxygen carriers will be presented. Most of these topics are covered in standard textbooks [6,10,54,113] and monographs on oxygen transport [112]. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
