The central atom of a molecule in this protein is usually coordinated to a histidine residue and not in plane, but the central atom moves in plane when its sixth coordination site is occupied.
The central atom of a molecule in this protein is usually coordinated to a histidine residue and not in plane, but the central atom moves in plane when its sixth coordination site is occupied. The Hill equation was originally developed by studying cooperative binding of this protein, which causes it to transition from the tense T state to the relaxed R state. Defects in its production causes (*) thalassemia (THAL-uh-see-me-uh). The breakdown of this protein produces bilirubin (BILL-ee-rue-ben) as a byproduct. A drop in environmental pH causes a decrease in its binding affinity according to the Bohr effect. A porphyrin (POOR-fur-in) ring coordinated to a central iron atom is in each of this protein's four subunits. For 10 points, name this molecule that binds oxygen using heme.
