Allostery

-Other State


-Binding ligand at one site affects binding properties of another site



Modulators/effectors

Ligands that effect binding at another site

Homotropic modulator

modulator is same as the ligand whose binding is effected


Heterotropic modulator

modulator is different that ligand whose binding is effected

Hill equations

θ = [L]^n/([L]^n + Kd), Kd = [L(.5)]^n


θ = [pGas]^n/([pGas]^n + p50^n)

Structural change upon O2 binding Hb

-Heme sandwiched between E and F helices


-When O2 binds F helix binds in a very small way

H+ Allostery with Hb

-CO2 produced by respiration changes binding curves


-At a given pO2 as H+ increases, (pH decreases) [T]/[R] increases, O2 affinity decreases


-Binding deceases O2 affinity

CO2 Allostery with Hb

-4 binding sites


-CO2 binding releases an H+


-Stabilizes T-state


-CO2 increase favors O2 release & vice versa


-Hb transports ~20% CO2 in tissues

BPG Allostery with Hb

-1 site per Hb
-Stabilizes T-State
-[BPG] increases at higher altitudes
-Binds to + site in T state, in R state this site dissapears

-1 site per Hb


-Stabilizes T-State


-[BPG] increases at higher altitudes


-Binds to + site in T state, in R state this site dissapears

High Altitude Adaptation

-More erythrocytes
-More Hb per cell
-Increased BPG synthesis and concentration

-More erythrocytes


-More Hb per cell


-Increased BPG synthesis and concentration

Adult vs. Fetal BPG

-Fetal Hb binds BPG w/ lower affinity
-BPG crosses placenta
-Lets mom drop off O2 to fetus

-Fetal Hb binds BPG w/ lower affinity


-BPG crosses placenta


-Lets mom drop off O2 to fetus

CO Allostery with Hb

-CO binds heme group at same position as O2


-Binds w/ much higher affinity than O2


-Death when ~60% Hb is Hb-CO
