Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive statistical analysis and comparative structure of hemin crystals across different classes of the subphylum Vertebrata. Hemin, an iron-containing porphyrin derivative, plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, including oxygen transport and enzymatic functions. Hemin crystals are brown, rhombic-shaped crystalline chloride of heme that is used to identify blood stains.

A laboratory study was conducted to assess the structural difference in some common sub vertebrates. Blood samples were obtained from the laboratories, butcher shop and dead animals. This present study gives significant data on Comparative structural size and shape hemin crystals of different classes and statistical data analysis. Various shapes are observed like Spindle with slanting edges, Small broad rectangle with rounded edges, long rectangular with sharp edges, Rhomboidal plates or rectangular. Diverse size where observe, the smallest size of hemin crystals out of the studied species is shown by frog. This research contributes to understanding the biochemical diversity within the Vertebrata and provides insights into the evolutionary significance of hemin in vertebrate physiology.
