Allosteric Effects
The conformational changes from the T to the R state is initiated by

binding of oxygen to the heme
reorganization of protein-protein contacts between the individual subunits
movement of the proximal histidine towards the heme
movement of the F-helix, which contains the proximal His

Allosteric Effects
Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) cannot bind to the oxygenated R state of hemoglobin because

its binding pocket becomes too small to accommodate BPG
BPG binds to the R state with the same affinity as the T state
it is displaced from the heme by oxygen
it is displaced from the heme by movement of the proximal histidine
