therm box -cooperativity of oxygen binding for Hb.
-increases greatly

T to R opens up the b subunit so that O2 has greater access to the heme. 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:26:39 GMT view revision history
R state OxyHb is R state (reduced) 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:26:39 GMT view revision history
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
0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:18:04 GMT view revision history
stripped = 1st -higher affinity than whole blood
-b/c of BPG

deoxy heme Deoxy binds more CO2 than oxyHb 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:18:04 GMT view revision history
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)

myoglobin curve -sigmoidal
-binding of myoglobin almost 0 in venous pressure
0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:14:39 GMT view revision history
MetMb reductase -reduced MetMb 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:04:27 GMT view revision history
NO -vasodilator
-removed my myoglobin once vessels vasodilated
-yields nitrate and MetMb

Methhemoglobin reductase -reduced hemoglobin to +2 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:04:27 GMT view revision history
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.

low temps increased O2
no need for hemoglobin in arctic fish

myoglobin -agent to transport O2 in muscle 0 mcs5109 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:01:48 GMT view revision history
hemoglobin -a2b2
-related to myoglobin (Mb)
-gets O2 to larger organisms
