Who am I again?
100

This atom coordinates to iron in a heme group

What is Nitrogen 

100

The number of subunits in myoglobin

What is one? 

100

Hemoglobin has four of these

What are subunits?

100

Oxygen binding proteins

What is Hemoglobin and Myoglobin

100

I only release oxygen when I exercise

Who is myoglobin

200

What is the type of porphyrin found in a Hb or Mb protein

200

single polypeptide with 153 amino acids

What Myoglobin

200

These are part of the secondary structure of proteins, and in hemoglobin are stabilized by hydrogen bonds 

What are alpha helices

200

The cylinder shape represent this type of secondary structure

What is the alpha helix 

200

When Oxygen binds to me, I make it easier for more oxygen to bind

Who is hemoglobin

300

Ii am tilted at an 60 degree angle

What is Oxygen

300

The organs help to remove myoglobin from the blood, but can be damaged if levels are too high

What are kidneys? 

300

apha2 beta2 tetramer

What Is hemoglobin
300

His F8

What is the 8th histidine located on helix F that binds the heme group

300

I am a contact that does not shift during confirmation changes

What is packing Contact

400

Four of these molecules make up a heme with a central Iron       

What is pyrrole 

400

This happens to the binding affinity of Mb for O2 when the pH is lowered (becomes more acidic) 

What is nothing?

400

These are the two states that determine hemoglobin's affinity for O2 binding.

What are the T and R states

400

When oxygen is bound, I am pulled down

What is iron (Ferrous iron)

400

I am a contact that slide with conformational changes

What is sliding contacts

500

Stores Oxygen

Myoglobin

500

Myoglobin is often found in this part of the body- storing oxygen for later use. 

What are muscles cells

500

This is when the binding of one oxygen site influences the binding at another or the overall shape of the protein. This term is used in other proteins as well. 

What is an allosteric protein/ cooperative binding? 

500

I only interact with alpha subunits

What is the beta subunit.

500

What is it called when one oxygen binding makes it easier for other oxygens to bind to hemoglobin

What is cooperatively
