What is Allosteric Hemoglobin Oxygen Binding about?

Hemoglobin is an allosteric protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. It is composed of four polypeptide chains and a heme group that binds oxygen. In its deoxygenated state (T-state), hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen. However, when oxygen binds to one subunit, it undergoes a conformational change to the R-state where it has a high affinity for oxygen, making it easier for the remaining subunits to bind oxygen as well, demonstrating cooperativity.
