Cooperative binding of oxygen by haemoglobin
|
The cooperative binding of oxygen by haemoglobin (pdb entry 1a00) results from restraints on in the T state. The unfavourable interactions made by the ligands at the haems destabilise the T state and favour the high affinity R state. The T <==> R equilibrium leads, in the presence of a ligand, to a rapid increase in the R state population and therefore generates cooperative binding. There is now considerable understanding of this phenomenon, but the interactions that reduce ligand affinity in the T state have not yet been fully explored, owing to the difficulties in preparing T state haemoglobin crystals in which all the subunits are oxygenated. A protocol has been developed to oxygenate deoxy T state adult human haemoglobin (HbA) crystals in air at 4 C at all four haems without significant loss of crystalline order. The X-ray crystal structure, determined to 2.1 A spacing, shows significant changes in the alpha and beta haem pockets as well as changes at the alpha(1)beta(2) interface in the direction of the R quaternary structure. Most of the shifts and deviations from deoxy T state HbA are similar to, but larger than, those previously observed in the T state met and other partially liganded T state forms. They provide clear evidence of haem-haem interaction in the T state. ‘[1]’. </structuresction>
