What is Hemoglobin Function and Biochemistry Insights about?

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein that binds oxygen and carbon dioxide through its heme prosthetic group. Hb has quaternary structure and binds oxygen most readily when the iron in heme is ferrous. A tightly bound cofactor (heme) is required for Hb to properly carry oxygen. The binding of oxygen to one Hb molecule enhances the binding of oxygen to other Hb molecules (cooperativity), which is caused by a change in tertiary structure. The binding of oxygen to Hb is an example of homotropic cooperativity. Carbon di
