Question

Describe the conditions in the following processes:

(a) Haemoglobin changes into oxyhaemoglobin
(b) Oxyhaemoglobin decomposes into haemoglobin​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When hemoglobin is deoxygenated (left), the heme group adopts a domed configuration. When hemoglobin is oxygenated (right), the heme group adopts a planar configuration. As shown in the figure, the conformational change in the heme group causes the protein to change its conformation, as well
