#### Describe L1/2 in terms of receptor and ligand binding.
|
|
|
|
$L_{1/2}$ is the amount of L needed to reach 50%/balance of ligand/receptor. The value can be different depending on the binding affinity, how strong the ligand/receptor binds to each other

|
#### Explain the basic structure of myoglobin including the porphyrin ring and Fe.
|
|
Myoglobin består av en polypeptidkedja med heme som en prostetisk grupp. Heme består av en porfyrinring som är fyra pyrroleringar och en järnatom i mitten som kan binda syre.
|
|
#### What are proximal and distal histidine? How do they interact with heme molecule?
|
|
|
|
Den proximal binder direkt till
|
|
#### How does $O^2$ bind to myoglobin? Compare with carbon monoxide ($CO$).
|
|
|
|
Den binder till järn den distala histidinen. CO binder bara till järn
|
|
#### Explain the basic structure of hemoglobin and its structural states.
|
|
#### What is cooperative binding? Describe in the context of hemoglobin.
|
|
#### Compare the dissociation curves of myoglobin and hemoglobin. What does this mean for the transport of O2 from the lungs to the tissues?
|
|
#### Define an allosteric regulator.
|
|
#### How is hemoglobin affected by CO, CO2, H+, and 2,3-BPG? How are these effects mediated? Where do these molecules/ions bind and what are the consequences?
|
|
#### Define Bohr effect and explain how it influences oxygen binding.
|
|
Bohr-effekten är hur vätejoner och 2,3-BPGs koncentrationer ändrar bindningsaffiniteten för syre i Hb, i lugnorna är det lägre där binder syre bättre än där det ska frisläppas som har högre koncentration av vätejoner/2,3-BPG.

|
#### How does fetal hemoglobin (HbF) differ from adult hemoglobin (HbA) and what effect does this have?
|
|
#### Explain the molecular and structural background of sickle-cell disease.
