| A new study shows that a blue colored pigment, hemocyanin, in their blood, responsible for oxygen transport, crucially allows octopods to live in freezing temperatures. |
| Lobsters, like snails and spiders, have blue blood due to the presence of hemocyanin which contains copper. |
| Injection of bacteria had no influence on hemocyanin or hemolymph protein concentrations when compared to saline injection. |
| Currently, ultracentrifugation is the most common commercial method of purifying hemocyanin. |
| The chelicerate hemocyanin subunits are basal, consistent with the assumption that the Chelicerata is a rather distinct arthropod taxon. |
| First, the scientists conjugated various synthetic peptides, homologous to the gluten amino acid sequence, to keyhole limpet hemocyanin, a carrier protein. |
