| T to R |
opens up the b subunit so that O2 has greater access to the heme. |

| R state |
OxyHb is R state (reduced) |

| T state |
deoxyHb is T state -salt bridges formed bw a and b subunits |

| distal histidine |
-O2 binding to heme is bent -CO bind is stright -distal histidine prevents CO from binding to heme |

| fetal hemeglobin |
a2g2 BPG is same concentration in fetal erythrocytes as maternal but has lower affinity for HbF. Thus, HbF binds oxygen with greater affinity |

 |
| higher alt |
more BPG -BPG is synthesized in erythrocytes and cannot diffuse out |

| BPG |
-favors formation of deoxyHb -important in that arterial blood to release O2 |

| stripped = 1st |
-higher affinity than whole blood -b/c of BPG |

| deoxy heme |
Deoxy binds more CO2 than oxyHb |

| Bohr effect |
-based on pH -pO2 is low in capillaries and the H+ generated by carbonic anhydrase drives the O2 off of Hb facilitating its release -opposite in lungs -capillaries= acidic |

| picket fence |
-Picket fence prevented formation of two hemes with O2 as the bridge. Picket fence describes how the globin molecule surrounds the heme and prevents autoxidation. -2 O's can't contact each other |

| Hill coeffient |
-n= Hill constant. -if n=1, then binding curve is hyperbolic and is said to be noncooperative -if n>1 the it is positively cooperative (Hb curve) -if n<1, then it is negative cooperativity (Ligand binding reduces affinity of the next ligand) |

| NO |
-vasodilator -removed my myoglobin once vessels vasodilated -yields nitrate and MetMb |

| Fe+2 |
-Fe required for O2 binding -color changes from purple to scarlet -oxidized Hb= Met Hb |

| heme |
-Mb and each subunit of Hb has one heme. -also found in cytochromes, cytochrome P450 -Contains 4 pyrrole rings. Has His as one of the ligands and an open 6th axial coordination position for O2 to bind. |
