The shape of the haemoglobin molecule makes it difficult for the first oxygen moleate to bind to it. Why?
Back
Card 22
Front
Binding of the first oxygen molecule changes the quaternary structure of the haemoglobin molecule causing it to change shape. Why does this make bindingevery easier for the second oxygen molecule?
