- The binding of oxygen by hemoglobin is therefore cooperative. That is, as the number of bound oxygen molecules increases in the association reaction, the apparent binding affinity increases (Fig. 2).

The ligand-binding data for proximal histidyl-detached recombinant haemoglobins show that Perutz's proximal histidyl coupling mechanism contributes approximately two-thirds to the total interaction energy between haems and that there are alternative coupling pathways for the remaining third.

In the case of hemoglobin, Bohr observed homotropic positive cooperativity (binding of oxygen facilitates binding of more oxygen) and heterotropic negative cooperativity (binding of CO 2 reduces hemoglobin's facility to bind oxygen.)
Jul 15, 2019 · The classic ligands that reversibly bind to hemoglobin, dioxygen, carbon dioxide, and protons, are bound covalently. Dioxygen binds to a heme Fe2+, protons obviously bind to proton acceptors (like His), while CO2 binds covalently as if forms a carbamate with the N terminus of one of the hemoglobin chains.
- Equilibrium can be expressed as the fraction of ligand binding sites occupied by ligand
- Allosteric proteins
- Hill equation
- Plotting log ( / (1 – )) vs log [L] is called the Hill plot
- Two models proposed to explain cooperative binding
- special case of the sequential model (not mutually exclusive)
binding sites occupied [ PL ] = = total binding sites [ PL ][ P ]
Allosteric proteins bind ligands at one site, undergo a conformational change and the binding properties of another site on the same protein are altered Cooperative proteins (eg Hb) are a special case of allosteric proteins All cooperative proteins are allosteric, but not all allosteric proteins are cooperative
The fractional occupancy equilibrium expression can be rearranged and converted to a linear form by taking the log of each side:
● The slope of the Hill plot n (Hill coefficient), reflect the degree of interaction between binding sites and is represented as n H (Note:
Concerted model – all subunits undergo the conformational change simultaneously Sequential model – subunit undergo the conformational change one at time Difficult to distinguish between the models as the concerted model is
The sequential model becomes the concerted model if the conformational change is sufficiently fast
Jan 11, 2008 · Cooperativity for O 2 binding is expressed in haemoglobin (Hb) because the interaction of the O 2 molecule with one heme facilitates the binding of additional O 2 molecules to the other heme sites.

Oct 27, 2017 · This chapter aims to analyze hemoglobin (Hb) as a model system. It describes the ligand-binding properties of Hb and its co-factor, the heme. Hb ligand-binding properties include homotropic and heterotropic interactions, allostery, and ligand-linked dissociation.
May 1, 2001 · Assembly of hemoglobin subunits into cooperative complexes produces a remarkable variety of architectures, ranging in oligomeric state from dimers to complexes containing 144 hemoglobin subunits. Diverse stereochemical mechanisms for modulating ligand affinity through intersubunit interactions have been revealed from studies of three distinct ...
