In 1840, at Leipzig University in Germany, the hemoglobin protein that carries oxygen was initially discovered by Hünefeld. In 1851, publishing the articles about diluting red blood cells with a solvent such as pure water (H<sub>2</sub>O) or alcohol, Otto Funke, a German physiologist, described growing hemoglobin crystals. A few years later, Felix Hoppe-Seyler, a German physiologist and chemist, investigated the binding of oxygen to erythrocytes as a function of hemoglobin, which is called the process of creating the compound oxyhemoglobin. Obtaining hemoglobin in crystalline form, Hoppe-Seyler discovered that hemoglobin contains iron. In 1959, using X-ray crystallography, Max Perutz, an Austrian-British molecular biologist, established the molecular structure of hemoglobin and his work helped him win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1962. | In 1840, at Leipzig University in Germany, the hemoglobin protein that carries oxygen was initially discovered by Hünefeld.
