Model of haemaglobin, 1967

Model showing oxy-haemoglobin, made at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, 1967, the first model to show the position of the individual atoms in haemaglobin showing the structure of the molecule when bound to oxygen. The plastic tubing follows the path of the protein backbone.
