Haemoglobin•Globular protein.•Quarternary structure.•Two alpha + 2 beta chains.•Haem group at centre of each tertiary structure (contains a ferrous ion Fe2+).
• Each haem group carries one molecule of O2.
• SoHb + 4O2 HbO8
oxyhaemoglobin• To be efficient haemoglobin must
– Readily pick up O2 at the gas exchange surface.– Readily release O2 at those tissues requiring it.

Different Haemoglobins
• Different organism have different haemoglobins, this depends upon the organisms metabolism and environment.– Haemoglobins with a high affinity for oxygen.
These take up oxygen more easily but release it less readily
– Haemoglobins with a low affinity for oxygen. These take up oxygen less readily but release it more readily

What animals do you think would have a haemoglobin with a
high affinity for oxygen?
And a low affinity for oxygen?

Lesson Objectives(E) What is an oxygen dissociation curve?(C) What is the effect of carbon dioxide on the curve and why?(A/B) How do the properties of the haemoglobins in different organisms relate to the environment and the way of life of the organism concerned?

Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve
![Page 11: One blood cell contains about 280 million molecules of haemoglobin](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b07550346895dc8b5b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Oxygen dissociation curves
• S-shaped curve – because shape of molecule is altered as each O2 molecule is taken up.
• After binding of first molecule shape changes so the binding of the others is easier.
• Steep part of the curve - small decrease in pp oxygen results in a big fall in Hb saturation, so that oxygen is released to the tissues where need is greatest.

Table 1. the percentage saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen at different partial pressures of oxygen
Plot a graph of PO2 against the percentage saturation of
haemoglobin. The curve obtained is called the oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve.

The Bohr effect (shift)• CO2 reduces the
ability of Hb to combine with O2.
• CO2 present at respiring tissues – so Hb releases O2.

South American Llamas live at high altitudes. Where do you
think their oxygen dissociation curve would lie?
![Page 17: One blood cell contains about 280 million molecules of haemoglobin](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b07550346895dc8b5b0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Llamas – high altitude, little O2.
• Need higher affinity Hb – picks up O2 more readily, but releases it less readily.
• Curve also shifted to left for other organisms inhabiting low O2 environments – only releasing O2 when pp very low.
![Page 18: One blood cell contains about 280 million molecules of haemoglobin](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b07550346895dc8b5b0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Higher affinity haemoglobins
1. Foetal haemoglobin – has higher affinity than maternal Hb, so can obtain O2.
2. Myoglobin – red pigment in mammalian muscles.
Has a higher affinity for O2 than Hb – only releasing it a very low pp.
Myoglobin ‘STORES’ O2.

Altitude sickness• Caused by acute exposure to low partial
pressure of oxygen at high altitude
• Compensated by altitude acclimatisation – body combats it by producing more red blood cells.

What animals would have a haemoglobin with a low affinity for oxygen and why? What would their
curve look like?
![Page 21: One blood cell contains about 280 million molecules of haemoglobin](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b07550346895dc8b5b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Smaller animals (shrews/mice) and birds have curves shifted to the right.
• Have high metabolism so need O2 to be released readily.
