Which of these occur when hemoglobin releases oxygen? Select all that apply. O Conformation is shifted toward the T-state BPG can bind in the central channel O Fe2+ is at the center of a planar heme group

In 1913, Archibald Hill described an alternative formulation for cooperative processes such as the binding of oxygen by hemoglobin by considering the hypothetical equilibrium Hb+ n0₂ Hb(0₂)n 2 Analysis leads to the Hill equation: n p02₂" ( Y log (₁ x x ) = log Y (^_^) log where Y is the fractional saturation. This equation suggests that a plot of log with slope n. Plots for myoglobin and hemoglobin are shown here: 3 2 1 O -1 -2 -3 P50 + n = nlog (pO,) – n log(P5o) Myoglobin (0.25, -0.25) -1 0 1 2 log (pO₂) (3.0, 2.5) 3 4 (^_^) log 3 2 1 O -1 -2 -3 -4 (0, -3.4) -1 0 Y Y versus log (pO₂) should yield a line Hemoglobin (2.1, 2.5) - (0.7, -2.0) (1.9, 1.3) (0.4, -3.5) 1 2 log (pO₂) - (2.4, 2.4) 3 4
