Hemoglobin binds in a cooperative fashion because of four different heme groups that are involved.<\/p>

As a result, hemoglobin is capable of allosteric binding<\/b> which means that binding of a ligand at one site affects the binding of another site.<\/p>

Two models have been proposed to account for the cooperativity ogf ligand binding.<\/p>

The first is the Symmetry Model:<\/h2>

Here are some guidelines for the symmetry model:<\/p>

  1. An allosteric protein is an oligomer of symmetrically related subunits<\/li>
  2. Each oligomer can exist in two conformational states, designated as R and T state<\/li>
  3. The ligand can bind to a subunit in either conformation<\/li>
  4. Molecular symmetry is conserved during conformation. In other words, R and T states do not simultaneously contain both conformations<\/li><\/ol>

    The second is the Sequential Model:<\/h2>

    \"\"
    The major difference here is that the ligand binding induces a conformational change in the subunit (no symmetry) thus enabling cooperativity to occur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
