Thai freshwater crocodile breeds have become a global phenomenon with consumers demanding crocodile there personal products for the beauty of body and body maintenance. Particularly in Asia where consumer demand for crocodile blood to be used to build up his immunity and increase the strength of the body and the treatment of asthma.
Crocodiles usually stay underwater for more than an hour, hunting and drowning their prey. Water can remain under for so long because of the crocodile that fills with hemoglobin in the blood with bicarbonate ions, the end product of respiration.
Since the bicarbonate ons raise the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin is reduced,
which in turn brings a large percentage of hemoglobin bound oxygen in tissue.
Baking soda is very different, such as diving mammals and seals stay under water for such long periods of time. Diving mammals use muscle myoglobin to remain under water. These mammals are more than 100 times the content of myoglobin, as crocodiles.
It has proven to be a small part of the crocodile hemoglobin molecule binds bicarbonate ions. It achieves this through many fantastic combinations of man and crocodile hemoglobin and to study the oxygen binding properties of novel hemoglobin. Finally, I am a man of hemoglobin with a crocodile hemoglobin amino acids added, seemed to bind bicarbonate ions very efficiently. The novel human hemoglobin-crocodile has been dubbed “Hb Scuba”.
The main implications of this research is the creation of a new U-boat races of mankind, the researchers emphasize. Rather, the results of new data on hemoglobin in different species. Studies have shown that not more than 12 amino acid substitutions were needed to determine the effect of bicarbonate. This shows how a small change in molecular structure, provided that natural selection can have far-reaching consequences, the animals can be used for a good cause. These results are also likely to create a new front in research to develop blood replaced.
