CROSSLINKED HAEMOGLOBIN

Overview

Hemoglobin has been a long-standing paradigm for understanding protein, allostery. Here, the x-ray structures of two chemically crosslinked, fully, liganded hemoglobins, alpha2beta82CA82beta and alpha2beta82ND82beta, are, described at 2.3 A and 2.6 A resolution, respectively. Strikingly, these, crosslinked hemoglobins assume intermediate conformations that lie between, those of R and the controversial liganded hemoglobin state R2 rather than, between R and T. Thus, these structures support only a T left and right, arrow R left and right arrow R2 allosteric pathway and underscore the, physiological importance of the R2 conformation.

About this Structure

1HAB is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Homo sapiens with HEM, CMO and CIN as ligands. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
