Carbon monoxide is poisonous because it binds to Hb in a similar fashion and can displace oxygen and block O2 from binding to Hb. a) The reaction below describes the equilibrium for the displacement of Oz in the HbO2 complex by CO to form HBCO. Write an equilibrium expression for this reaction. HbO2 + CO HBCO + O2 Kdisp = b) The equations below describe the equilibrium for O2 and CO binding to Hb. Using the information provided determine the value of Kdisp Hb +O2 HbO2 [HbO2] = 3.2 [Hb][O2] Ko2 = НЬ + СО HBCO [H6C0] [Hb][CO] Kco = = 750
