Figure 8. B- Fe2+ - Heme Figure 8. Quaternary structure of hemoglobin with labeled subunits. Note: each subunit contains one non-protein heme group complexed to an oxidized iron atom (Fe2+). These “prosthetic groups" are required for carrying oxygen in the blood. Modified from this link under Creative Commons license. Answer the below questions on quaternary structure in your own document. 1. Based on your interpretation of Figure 9, how many subunits does hemoglobin contain? Are they all the same or different? 2. Which types of interactions do you think stabilize the quaternary structure of proteins that have this level of śtructure? (Hint: this is not any different from the interactions you identified in tertiary structure, except for the fact that multiple polypeptides are involved).
