Evolutionary and functional insights into the mechanism underlying body-size-related adaptation of mammalian hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (Hb) represents a model protein to study molecular adaptation in vertebrates. Although both affinity and cooperativity of oxygen binding to Hb affect tissue oxygen delivery, only the former was thought to determine molecular adaptations of Hb. Here, we suggest that Hb affinity and coopera...
