O2 Binding in Hemoglobin
DeoxyHb
Fe(II) (0.78 ), 5 coordinate coordinate Domed, Nonplanar 0.6 above the ring High Spin, Paramagnetic
OxyHb
Fe(III) (0.61 ), 6 Planar, O2 ion Fit into the ring Low Spin, Diamagnetic
Perutz Mechanism
Very fast 1. Fe(II) in T state site above heme Fe(II) binds to O2 Fe(III) pulled down into heme (R state) 2. Fe(III) pulls down His F8 F helix tilts

Perutz Mechanism
3. 4. Shift of tertiary structure causes shift of quaternary structure (rotate) a2b1 and a1b2 interface residues realign C-terminal residues break ionic interactions which stabilize T state As R state forms from T state, it adopts ideal conformation for next O2 binding All binding sites are altered, not just the one binding the O2
It is unknown whether the a and b subunits differ in O2 affinity and which subunit binds to (or releases) O2 first.
Bohr Effect
Conformational change will be accompanied by change in IFs
Change in charge
Relate pH to affinity
Bohr effect O2 affinity increases as pH increases

It is unknown whether the a and b subunits differ in O2 affinity and which subunit binds to (or releases) O2 first.

INTERACTIONS WITH O2
* Can bind up to 4 O2 molecules * Binding of O2 is cooperative: the binding of 1 O2 influences the binding of another
