hemoglobin +hemoglobinopathies Flashcards
Hemoglobin Kempsey
locks hemoglobin in its high oxygen affinity. Reduces oxygen delivery to tissues. His92Tyr
Sickle Cell Disease
Glu6Val. Deoxygenated HBs pol
Heme function
Coordinate oxygen increasing solubility
Methemoglobin
Oxidized hemoglobin
Treat with CO2
Stopped by histidine E7
Dimerization between two methemoglobins and O
Artificial porfirins
Strerically hinder from dimerizing
No antigens
Myoglobin (structure)
Catalytic parts (oxygens) of heme on outside, important parts on inside=protects from rusting
p50
affinity of molecule for gas
- increase, forcing gas to interact with molecule
- pressue where half oxygen molecules bound
Smaller the p50 has higher the affinity
Myoglobin
Hyberbolic dissassoctation curve
Kept together by hydrophobic forces
F8 histidine
holds heme in place-binds iron in place
iron’s 6 bonds
4 to porphyrin rings N’s
1 to oxygen
1 to F8 histidine
E8 histidine
Saves us from CO2 poisoning
myoglobin vs hemoglobin p50
hyperbolic with lower p50
sigmoidal with higher p50
what holds both alpha chains together
Arg 141 with Asp 126 and Lys 127
What causes sinusoidal curve
coopertivity
Idealized hemoglobin vs -0 coopertivty
all or no coopertivity-looks very sinusoidal
looks like myoglobin
Hill coffecient
n=2.8 for hemo
=1 for myo
Coopertivity score
pressure in lungs vs prior
100 to 20
T vs R state favor
R state favored when 4 O’s
-T state 2 O’s pushes to R state
T state favored when no O’s on
-R state 2 O’s pushes to T state
Allostery direction
Inhibition or activation
T vs R state affinintity and why
Higher affinity for Oxygen in R
oxygen stabilizes R state
why is T state more stable
disulfide bridges-more favorable
