Distributions of heme B and its implications on Fe biogeochemistry in the eastern Indian Ocean and the western North Pacific Ocean

Abstract Heme B is an iron-coordinated porphyrin cofactor that facilitates essential biochemical reactions. As a major iron component in almost all life forms, the abundance of heme B in the ocean provides novel insights into iron biogeochemistry. In this study, we investigated the distribution of h...
