Cooperative binding of ligands to this molecule is governed by the Hill equation, for which this system has a coefficient of about three. Its substrate affinity drops as pH increases but rises as carbon dioxide concentration increases in an effect named for Bohr. However, its competitive binding is the cause of carbon monoxide poisoning. The most common type of this protein in mammals has four subunits of its namesake porphyrin, which each can contain one iron atom. For 10 points, name these proteins that make up nearly all the dry weight of red blood cells and that transports oxygen.
