32

lower
33
globular proteins form ______ in water
colloids
34
explain t and r states in terms of dimers
At first, deoxy Hb has a low affinity for oxygen because it is in its T state. While it is in T-state, all the alpha and beta dimers are held tightly together through ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions. once 1 O2 molecule gets in, the Hb tends to relax a little, and its affinity for more O2 molecules increases. It turns from tense to relaxed (R-state). Once all 4 of the O2 molecules are attached to the Hb, it turns from deoxy-Hb to oxy-Hb.

Describe WHAT CAUSES the signmoidal curve of the oxygen dissociation graph of Hb.
when O2 binds to 1 heme group, specific structural changes occur. these changes are then transmitted to other heme groups within the Hb tetramer.
37
