Re: [DIYbio] What's the rationale behind the similarities between chlorophyll and hemoglobin?

Chlorophyll is definitely like an antenna+diode - which is what got me thinking Hemoglobin might be shaped like it is so that the Oxygen can be knocked off by lower energy processes (i.e. you have something bump it mechanically or electrically just the right way and it ejects either an Oxygen molecule or a highly reactive monoatomic Oxygen molecule and something else is ready to make use of it.)  Still a bit unclear on if this is the case or not though.

I thought hemoglobin was just a pH responsive chelator, while
chlorophyll was more like an antenna+diode... as for rationale... can
you really ask that of evolution?
