Max Perutz proposed the mechanism for the action of this protein regulated by the compound 2-3 BPG. According to the Bohr effect, the properties of this protein changes according to the pH. The central active site of this protein contains a ring structure called a porphyrin which has a central iron atom. Carbon monoxide is toxic because of its ability to bind to this protein. A mutation in the gene for this protein found in erythrocytes (UR-ith-rah-sites) causes sickle cell anemia. For 10 points, name this protein found in red blood cells used to transport oxygen.
