Allosteric Effects Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) cannot bind to the oxygenated R state of hemoglobin because BPG binds to the R state with the same affinity as the T state it is displaced from the heme by movement of the proximal histidine its binding pocket becomes too small to accommodate BPG it is displaced from the heme by oxygen BPG binds to the R state with the same affinity as the T state it is displaced from the heme by movement of the proximal histidine its binding pocket becomes too small to accommodate BPG it is displaced from the heme by oxygen ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Allosteric Effects An allosteric activator decreases the binding affinity both (a) and (c) stabilizes the R state of the protein increases the binding affinity decreases the binding affinity both (a) and (c) stabilizes the R state of the protein increases the binding affinity ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Allosteric Effects The conformational changes from the T to the R state is initiated by reorganization of protein-protein contacts between the individual subunits movement of the F-helix, which contains the proximal His binding of oxygen to the heme movement of the proximal histidine towards the heme reorganization of protein-protein contacts between the individual subunits movement of the F-helix, which contains the proximal His binding of oxygen to the heme movement of the proximal histidine towards the heme ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
