how haemoglobin acts as an allosteric protein?
Answer Posted / ammuz
Hemoglobin (Hb) is allosteric. An allosteric protein is
protein that has cooperative interactions between binding
sites. In Hb the binding of an O2 molecule to one site
triggers a conformational change in the molecule that sort
of "opens up" other sites, allowing for more O2 to bind.
Thus, the binding of one O2 molecule cooperatively allows
for the binding of another
