An Origin of Cooperative Oxygen Binding of Human Adult Hemoglobin: Different Roles of the α and β Subunits in the α(2)β(2) Tetramer

Human hemoglobin (Hb), which is an α(2)β(2) tetramer and binds four O(2) molecules, changes its O(2)-affinity from low to high as an increase of bound O(2), that is characterized by ‘cooperativity’. This property is indispensable for its function of O(2) transfer from a lung to tissues and is accoun...
