Question
Answer
State the Henderson Hasselbalch equation   show
🗑
show Porphyrin molecule to which an iron atom (Fe2+) is coordinated; the porphyrin ring is a complex C-N structure  
🗑
show Attached to the globin chain through proximal histidine residue prevents oxidation of iron to higher oxidation states  
🗑
Why is haem protected by the globin polypeptide?   show
🗑
How does O2 binding change the shape of haemoglobin?   show
🗑
show Heme is domed: iron atom in the center is drawn out of the plane  
🗑
show Binding of O2 causes conformational changes which lead to breakage of some of the non-covalent interactions between subunits  
🗑
show Each subunit of Hb binds O2 independently, the binding of O2 at one subunit influences the binding of O2 at other subunits  
🗑
show Binds in the cleft between subunits only present in the T-state  
🗑
Describe the oxygen binding characteristics of myoglobin   show
🗑
show Haemoglobin is a tetramer with only one histidine residue involved when oxygen binds to haem. There are four haemoglobin molecules  
🗑
