E.g. Enzymes 3 Globular proteins There are mainly 3 types of globular proteins , ( α Alpha, β Beta , γ Gamma). These subunits have their own subtypes and combine together to make other types of globular proteins. E.g. hemoglobin is made of 2 α and 2β subunits. γ-globulin Hemoglobin Enzymes myoglobin α1, α2, β-globulins (immunoglobulins) Oxygen Storage Catalysis of Oxygen transport biochemical immune function Function and supply to the Various function “Humoral immunity” heart and muscle reactions Give red color for RBCs 4 Hemoglobin Or 8 atoms of O2 A major Composed Held together by Each chain is a A Hb molecule of four subunit with a heme contain 4-heme globular non-covalent group in the center groups and carries protein in polypeptide interactions that carries oxygen 4 molecules of O2 humans chains.

Two dimers form Types of hemoglobin Normal Abnormal Can not Can carry O2 carry O2 HbA: (97%) (Adult) Carboxy Hb HbA2: (2%) Met Hb HbF: (1%) (fetal) Sulf Hb Fetal HB More details are discussed HbA1c later in the lecture Structure of hemoglobin Globin chain One Hemoglobin Consists of: - 4 globin chains “protein chains” two alpha and two beta (called subunits) - One alpha and one beta subunti bind together to form a dimer. {next slide} - each globin is bound to one heme group. (4 heme groups in total) - Heme groups consists of protoporphyrin + ferrous iron - Protoporphyrin is: organic compound forming a complex with iron (fe2 ) - each heme group makes two bonds, 1- with a ferrous iron (reduced form of iron “F+2”) 2-with the histidine on the globin - The Iron on the heme group binds to O2 Ferrous iron protoporphyrin Heme group 6 2 dimers each HbA structure dimer consists of 2 subunits There are two types of HbA: Hydrophobic bonds Weaker ionic Notice that there bonds between is a lesser dimers number of ionic (interdimer) bonds because the rest were broken after O2 was bound to it 1-deoxyhemoglobin,T(taut) : 2-Oxyhemoglobin,R(relaxed): -deoxygenated state (no O2 bound to it) -oxygenated state . -Strong intradimer hydrophobic bonds - when O2 binds to it, some of the Between the subunits ionic bonds are broken, so the -weaker ionic bonds between dimers, structure becomes more relaxed these bonds make it T(taut) (tight) and allows for more movement. and causes less movement (ﻣﺷدود) Note for previous slide :The first oxygen molecule that binds with haemoglobin will be the hardest because of the conformation change that occurs the other three will bind much more easier than the first.
