- Which of the following is true about the T (tense) -->R (relaxed) transition of hemoglobin? A. The T state of hemoglobin binds oxygen with a higher affinity than the R state. B. The binding of O2 to a subunit T state can cause the transition of other subunits to the R state. C. The T state has a narrower pocket between b subunits than does the R state. D. When hemoglobin undergoes the T--> R transition, the structures of the individual subunits change dramatically.arrow_forwardWhich of the following scenariosare correct?Select all that apply A. High levels of PCO2will cause loading of O2ontohemoglobin. B. An increase in pH will causeO2to unload from hemoglobin. C. High PO2levels will increase saturation of Hb with O2. D.

It ensures that hemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen. B. It allows hemoglobin to bind oxygen irreversibly. C. It ensures that hemoglobin can bind oxygen only weakly. D. It allows hemoglobin to shift between low and high affinities for oxygen.arrow_forward
- Which statement is true for the heme group present myoglobin: a. Oxygen binding to heme group is influenced by serine residues within proteins’ sequences. b. Oxygen binding to heme can become irreversible as a result of interaction with certain protein residues. c. Oxygen reversibly binds to the heme prostetic group and this binding is influenced by histidine residues within the myoglobin sequence. d. The heme group dissociates from Mb after oxygen is released.arrow_forwardWhich of the following causes an increase in hemoglobin’s 02 affinity? A. An increase in the partial pressure of oxygen. B. A decrease in ph C. An increase in the concentration of 2,3 -BPG D. An increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxidearrow_forwardPeople suffering with sickle cell anemia have a structural defect in hemoglobin (HB). The major reason for this structural change is mutation of glutamic acid to valine. This leads to a Exposure of polar amino acids, leading to disintegration of hemoglobin. b Burying of polar amino acids, leading to disintegration of hemoglobin. c Exposure of non-polar amino acids leading to long fiber formation. d Burying of non-polar amino acids thereby increasing hydrophobic interactions and formation of long fibres.arrow_forward
