Hemoglobin Structure
Hemoglobin is a O 2 transport protein found in the RBCs
An oligomeric protein made up of 2 dimers, a total of 4
polypeptide chains: 1122.
Molecular weight : 64,500.

similar; all three are members of the globin family.
Each Hb subunit consists of 7 or 8 al ha helices and
several bends and loops folded into a single globin domain.
Each subunit has a heme-binding pocket.

The Prosthetic Heme GrouThe heme group is responsible for the O 2-binding capacity of
hemoglobin.
The heme group consists of the planar aromatic protoporphyrin made upof four pyrrole rings linked by methane bridges.
A Fe atom in its ferrous state (Fe +2) is at the center of protoporphyrin.
Fe+2 has 6 coordination bonds, four bonded to the 4 pyrrole N atoms.The nucleophilic N prevent oxidation of Fe +2.
The two additional binding sites are one on either side of the heme plane.
One of these is occupied by the imidazole group of His.The second site can be reversibly occupied by O 2, which is hydrogen

When hemoglobin is bound to O 2, it is called oxyhemoglobin .
This is the relaxed (R ) state.The form with a vacant O 2 binding site is called deoxyhemoglobin and
corresponds to the tense (T) state.
If iron is in the oxidized state as Fe+3
, it is unable to bind O 2 and this formis called as methemoglobin
CO and NO have higher affinity for heme Fe +2 than O 2 and can displace

Hemoglobin exists in two major conformational states:
an s a es o emog o n
Relaxed (R ) and Tense (T)R state has a higher affinity for O2.
In the absence of O2, T state is more stable
When O2 binds, R state is more stable, so hemoglobinundergoes a conformational change to the R state.
The structural change involves readjustment of interactions
between subunits.

Changes Induced by O2 Binding
O2 binding rearranges electrons within Fe+2 making it more
compact so that it fits snugly within the plane of porphyrin.
Since Fe is bound to histidine of the globin domain, when Femoves, the entire subunit undergoes a conformational change.
This causes hemoglobin to transition from the tense (T) state
to the relaxed (R) state.The 11 and 22 dimers rearrange and rotate approximately
15 degrees with respect to each other
Inter-subunit interactions influence O2 binding to all 4 subunitsresulting in cooperativity.

O2-binding kinetics
,O2 binding is cooperative meaning that each subsequent O2
binds with a higher affinity than the previous one
Similarly, when one O2 is dissociated, the other three willdissociate at a sequentially faster rate.
Due to positive cooperativity, a single molecule is very rarely
partially oxygenated.There is always a combination of oxygenated and deoxygenated
hemoglobin molecules.
The percentage of hemoglobin molecules that remain oxygenated isrepresented by its oxygen saturation.

Myoglobin - Structure
A simple oxygen-binding protein found in almost all mammals, primarily in
muscle tissue.
Myoglobin ( Mr 16,700; abbreviated Mb)
As a transport protein, it facilitates oxygen diffusion in muscle.
Myoglobin is abundant in the muscles of diving mammals such as
seals and whales
