how haemoglobin acts as an allosteric protein?

Answer Posted / r.rajani

Haemoglobin is anallosteric protein.The binding of o2 to
haemoglobin enhances the binding of extra o2 to hte same
haemoglobin molecule.oxygen binds cooperatively to
haemoglobin.The affinity of haemoglobin for o2 depends on ph.
oxygen affinity of haemoglobin is further regulated by
organic phosphates such as 2,3-biphosphoglycerate.
because of all these reasons haemoglobin acts as an
allosteric protein.
