Molecular evolution and structure-function relationships of myoglobin in diving mammals
Remarkable feats of breath-hold endurance are observed in diving mammals, with some species routinely diving for an hour. During most mammalian dives metabolism remains aerobic in nature, which is accomplished by restricting the blood flow to parts of the body through peripheral vaso-constriction an...
