Default Hemoglobin

From: (Iris Cohen)

Not impossible, since chlorophyll and hemoglobin differ only in the metal
at

I was aware of that. Calcium in chlorophyll and iron in hemoglobin


The ring based structure is very similar, differing in only a few bits here and
there. Chlorophyll actually has Magnesium.
