a. How many subunits does hemoglobin have? What are their conventional names? b. Identify the oxygen binding sites on hemoglobin. How many oxygens can one molecule of hemoglobin bind? How many oxygens can one subunit of hemoglobin bind? c. Identify the central cavity of hemoglobin. Is it the same or different than the oxygen binding site of hemoglobin?
Suppose a hypothetical "molecule X" binds to hemoglobin (at a different site than the O2 binding site) and stabilizes the T state. How would you identify this effector? a. Positive homotropic effector b. Negative homotropic effector c. Positive heterotropic effector d. Negative heterotropic effector
Give typed explanation Which of the following effects is NOT true? If stripped Hb is treated with 2,3-BPG, the O2-binding curve for Hb will shift left. If stripped Hb is treated with 2,3-BPG and CO2, the O2-binding curve for Hb will mirror that of fully intact Hb. If stripped Hb is treated with CO2, the O2-binding curve for Hb will shift right. All of the listed effects are true.
Why is the decreased affinity of fetal hemoglobin for BPG advantageous? With fewer BPG molecules bound to heme, there are more heme residues available for O2 binding. O A. B. Decreased BPG binding biases the fetal hemoglobin toward the R state. C. More free BPG is available to bind to adult hemoglobin, resulting in a shift to the R state. BPG is more available to bind to fetal myoglobin. helping to release O2 in fetal muscle tissue. D. 47
. The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O2-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site. A rationale for the observed reduction in O2-binding affinity is: A. The positive charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other negative charged side chains stabilizing R-conformer. B. The negative charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other positive charged side chains stabilizing the T-conformer. C. The Asp side chain mimics the positive charge on BPG. D. The Asp side chain mimics the negative charge on BPG. E. The Asp side chain is a nucleophile that attacks the BPG. F. BPG attacks the Asp side chain. G. Stabilization of the R-conformer favors O, release. H. Stabilization of the T-conformer favors O, release.
If there was a molecule that causes Hb to be more stable in the T state, this molecule would: a. Generally, raise the affinity of Hb for O2 b. Generally, lower the affinity of Hb for O2 c. Generally, cause Mb to favor the R state while Hb is in the T state d. Generally, cause Hb to dissociate into αβ dimers
Question 4 Explain all the steps involved in “positive cooperativity”, enabling oxygen binding to hemoglobin.
