which transport oxygen to the ____ and
returns carbon dioxide and protons to the
lungs
erythrocytes, tissues
A tetrameric protein found in erythrocytes
which transport ____ to the tissues and

Hemoglobin is a multi-subunit protein represented by
,
𝛼2𝛽2
the ____ of hemoglobin closely resemble
the structure of myoglobin.
𝛽 subunits
present in
hemoglobin provide additional mechanisms of
control.
Allosteric sites
(for regulation; molecules
can bind here
Allosteric sites
an oxygen molecule
binds more readily to hemoglobin if other
oxygen molecules are already bound
Cooperative binding
