SURVEY OF BIOCHEMISTRY Protein Function BEGIN CLASS BY REVIEWING EXAM #1
O2 Binding to Hemoglobin Hill Equation: Derive on board Y 1-Y = n log (pO2) - n log p50 log Cooperativity: binding of a ligand to one site affects the binding of other ligands to other sites. Hill Constant Cooperativity n = 1 No cooperativity (hyperbolic) n > 1 Cooperative binding n < 1 Noncooperative binding
Allosteric Interactions T state without O2 R state with O2 T -> R transition causes structural changes! See 7-1D
