One of the proteins in our bodies, called myoglobin, is a vital factor in the biochemical reactions that fuel our everyday activities.
Encoded for by a gene on chromosome 22, myoglobin extracts oxygen from our red blood cells and stores it in our muscles -- helping to keep us moving. Prof Stephen Curry explains how the method they used to determine its structure back in 1958, called X-ray crystallography, has revolutionised the way that we study biology.
Special thanks to the Science Museum for letting us film with their model.

Fascinating. I only wish I could share this fascination with someone else

Amazing
Keep these* videos coming! I love 'em!
Why did he make it out of poo?
A wicked sense of humour? See www.theguardian.com/science/occams-corner/2013/apr/19/1
Looks like a crude clay / plasticine material. The covering in green looks like mold.

I first read "Myogoblin". I don't think the D&D folks have any excuse for omitting that one from their Monster Manual ;)
Hemo-Goblin is already a comic character, maybe Myogoblin could be his sidekick.
RBuckminsterFuller Yeah! But maybe they should change it to "Mycogloblin". I mean, a undead fungal zombie goblin of death, how awesome would that be? ;)
CHEF CURRY WITH THE SHOT BOOII!!!! oh wrong video...
