We use hemoglobin and some animals use hemocyanin.

But is there a way to transport oxygen more efficiently than hemoglobin?
>>
yeah

wind
>>
>>9084441
yea just transfuse yourself with fetal blood every so often it has a higher affinity for O2. but adult rbc work because the lower affinity helps O2 come off easier
>>
>>9084441
I used to work at the lysate facility pictured in OP's image. It's located in the Delmarva peninsula.

It fucking sucked. 5:30am-1:00pm. You get one piss break and then 30 minutes for lunch. Fuck Lonza corporation. I'm so glad my current lab is chill and everyone comes in at 10.
>>
>>9084448
What's the point of a 30-minute lunch break when you finish at 1 PM?
>>
>>9084450
If you wake up at 5:30 you generally eat lunch earlier than 1 pm.
>>
>>9084448
Doesn't even seem that bad.

Except for the one piss break.
>>
May be it would be human haemoglobin with modifications? Like, increased affinity to oxygen. But you`ll need better
antyoxidant defence, then.

The problem is everyone had to work at 'Lucy' speed because we had hundreds of crabs every day. I pipetted so much I developed carpal tunnel within a month.
>>
>>9084441
are they killing those things?

I thought they were suppose to take a tiny amount of blood then release them. But they're being drained in OPs pic
>>
>>9084485
Pretty crab work, desu

Myoglobin does it better, but has too high of an affinity.
>>
Don't some athletes have their blood transfused out and frozen for some time then swapped back in?
I've heard they do this to get more O2 capabilities from the blood
>>
>>9084552
No, take 30% of their blood and return them. I don't think they can afford to kill them as they're near-endangered. Supposedly it has little to no effect on them but then they haven't really studied the effects properly...
>>

>le reddit spacing
>le kill yourself
>>
>>9086690
I believe what they do is spend time under low oxygen conditions so their blood produces more red blood cells. This blood gets transfused back to the athlete before competition. Since it's their own blood it's not cheating.

AFAIK
>>
>>9086701
I heard a significant percentage of them die anyway after they're put back.
>>
>>9086690
>>9087545
they get blood drawn, then freeze the rbc and get the plasma back. then on game day you reinject the red blood cells and boom, way higher oxygen carrying capacity.

training at high altitudes creates this effect naturally, no need for blood doping

Isn't increased affinity what you don't want? That's why CO is bad. What we need is increased carrying capacity, so one hemoglobin can carry many times more oxygen.
>>

Yeah its called having a job. That's what most employers give you.

You know you're free to quit your job anytime, right? Someone could give you free food for life while you sit around accomplishing nothing and you will still complain. Enjoy those NEET benefits.

Nobody mentioned copper. Keks haven't had chemistry yet and don't know a periodic table.
One good answer (myoglobin) so the rest of you need summerschool..
>>
This seems to be the only non-shit thread up and alive rn, nice job OP.

Myoglobin would be the answer, although it has too high of an affinity to be put in the blood stream; it would kill you via an oxygen overdose. It know there's a synthetic material that apparently looks and acts like rust that's some sort of Cobalt-oxide that can hold 6x the volume of air at 14.7 lb/in.^2 . It works strangely, by trapping particles of air at the particle level into the shape of the Cobalt particle itself. Apparently manufacturing has already been figured out, but it's seen that the only practical use is in diving equipment and it isn't being applied there yet, so it's basically viewed as a useless substance.

>>9084479
hemoglobin needs to be able to drop off the oxygen it's carrying, so increased affinity could be a bad thing.
