Heme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

A heme (American English) or haem (British English) is a prosthetic group that consists of an iron atom contained in the center of a large heterocyclic organic ring called a porphyrin. Not all porphyrins contain iron, but a substantial fraction of porphyrin-containing metalloproteins have heme as their prosthetic group; these are known as hemoproteins. Hemes are most commonly recognized in their presence as components of hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood, but they are also components of a number of other hemoproteins.

Haha Fliprain - this game is addictive! How do we taper from it?

[[Ol...]]

In my Concise Oxford Dictionary 'ahem'

is described as an 'exclamation'.

We need to decide on a point of principle here.

are we going to accept 'exclamations'?

If so where do we stop?

wowcher,  heyup, hellsbells??

What do you think Challis?

Hi Here's

 

Game 3

 

Find as many words as you can from these nine letters.

Each word must be at least four letters long and must contain the 'hub' letter. In this case 'H'.

Letters given can only be used once in each word. i.e. in this case, in each word, 'E' can be used up to twice, 'S' up to three times but the others can be used only once.

You cannot use plurals, foreign words or 'proper' nouns but verb forms ending in 's' are allowed.

Both English or American spellings are allowed but NOT of the same word.

There is at least  one nine letter word.

Abbreviations don't count.

'Urban Dictionary' words are NOT encouraged.

Game 3 -    The target in this case is 30+  words.

Oh, Lavender, I KNOW the rules and I still got all excited and posted "seamless" that obviously doesnt have an H. Duh. Took it off before anyone saw it. 

 

It doesn't look like we are going to get the last 8.
