Truncated hemoglobins build one of the three branches of the globin protein superfamily. They display a characteristic two‐on‐two α‐helical sandwich fold and are clustered into three groups (I, II and III) based on distinct structural features. Truncated hemoglobins are present in eubacteria, cyanob...
