When an oxygen molecule binds to the deoxyhemoglobin, multiple conformational changes happen that switch the hemoglobin from a T state to an R state.
Describe the key conformational changes that happen that lead to the switch of Hemoblogin to an R state, starting with oxygen binding.

- Suppose you mutate the proximal histidine of hemoglobin to glycine. You study the behavior of this mutant hemoglobin in the presence of 10 mM imidazole; the imidazole molecule can substitute for the proximal histidine chain and bind to the heme iron just as histidine does. a) Which state (T or R) will this mutation favor? b) Will oxygen binding to this state be tighter or weaker than oxygen binding to the same state of the wildtype hemoglobin? (note: wildtype means refers to the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature) c) Will this mutant still display significant cooperativity?Please fill in the following blanks with the options that correctly finishes the sentence. a. At a low O₂ pressure the [Select] hemoglobin is in a [Select] [Select] [Select] 9 [Select] " bond with [Select] heme, and the protein's central channel is [Select] b. The proximal histidine forms a(n) [Select] state is stabilized. In this conformation state, the heme prosthetic groups is each subunit's heme is more likely to be the proximal histidine is [Select ] bond with while the distal histidine forms a(n) [Select] to theIn a molecular disease of hemoglobin, Hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145β is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cysresidue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to (A)oxygen affinity, (B)the Bohr effect, and (C)the Hillcoefficient? Explain your answers.
- The steps involved in the T→ R transition in when oxygen binds to hemoglobin are outlined below. Place them in the correct order (1 = first thing to happen), assuming that it is the oxygen-binding that initiates the transition and that the process occurs in discrete steps. The proximal histidine is pulled by the heme iron. The F helix is pulled out of place, breaking a network of salt bridges. The iron is pulled into the plane of the protoporphyrin IX ring. Oxygen binds to the heme. < <What qualitative effect would you expect each of the following to have onthe P50 of hemoglobin?(a) Increase in pH from 7.2 to 7.4(b) Increase in PCO2 from 20 to 40 mm Hg(c) Dissociation into monomer polypeptide chains(d) Decrease in 2,3-BPG concentration from 7 mM to 5 mM in red cells.Hemoglobin from different species can have different numbers of subunits. Let's consider three hemoglobin molecules: n = 1, n = 4, and n = 8, where each subunit has an oxygen P50 = 30 torr. (Recall that Pso is essentially a Kp and that oxygen partial pressure (torr) is directly proportional to concentration.) Which molecule transports the most O2 between the lungs (pO2 = 100 torr) and peripheral tissues (pO2 = 30 torr)? Please justify your answer.
- The T state of hemoglobin is converted to the R state by what event? Select one: The binding of oxygen destabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal histidine and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. а. b. None of these. The binding of oxygen stabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal proline and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. С. d. The binding of oxygen stabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal histidine and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. The binding of oxygen destabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal proline and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. е.2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate lies in a central cavity within the hemoglobin tetramer, stabilizing the T state. What would be the effect of mutations that placed the BPG-binding site on the surface of hemoglobin?In a molecular disease of hemoglobin, Hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145β is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cysresidue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to the Hill coefficient
- A team of biochemists uses genetic engineering to modify the interface region between hemoglobin subunits. The resulting hemoglobin variants exist in solution primarily as αβ dimers (few, if any, α2β2 tetramers form). Are these variants likely to bind oxygen more weakly or more tightly? Explain your answer.Suggest probable consequences of the following real or possible hemoglobinmutations. [Note: as shown](a) At β146 (HC3) His → Asp(b) At β92 (F8) His → LeuIn each case, indicate whether a single-nucleotide change is sufficient forthe mutation.2B. S. aureus hemolysin B attacks the RBC cell membrane by hydrolyzing the sphingomyelin headgroup: ОН HN .R hemolysin B cuts this bond i) Draw a plausible mechanism of hydrolysis for this lipid headgroup. Let B- and BH be general base and general acid. 00-P-O LOR2 OR, ii) Why is this damaging to the overall membrane architecture of the RBC?
