Draw an oxygen saturation curve for hemoglobin (pressure of O2 versus saturation (y)) with physiological levels of CO2 and 2,3-BPG at biological pH. Now using arrows to indicate which direction it moves, draw the shift in this curve when:

a) There is a decrease in CO2

b) There is an increase in 2,3-BPG

c) There is an increase in pH

d) Hemoglobin experiences a loss of quaternary structure (breaks up into monomers)

In the body, hemoglobin (Hb) is the substance responsible for transporting oxygen (O2) to tissues. Hemoglobin binds oxygen to produce oxyhemoglobin (HbO2): Hb + O2 ? HbO2 Carbon monoxide (CO) can also bind to hemoglobin to produce carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO): Hb + CO ? HbCO The equilibrium constant for Reaction 2 (KCO) is about 210 times larger than the equilibrium constant for Reaction 1 (KO2). Thus, carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin much more efficiently than oxygen. KCO/KO2 = 210 a. Write...

1. What is the approximate hemoglobin O2 saturation of a blood sample that contains 10 g Hb/100 ml blood and has an O2 content of 10 ml O2/100 ml blood (ignore physically dissolved O2)? Show work 2. About 40% of Ca2+ in the blood is bound to plasma proteins, such as albumin. The [Ca2+] in Bowman’s Capsule is ~ 3 mEq/l, whereas its concentration in the plasma is ~ 5 mEq/l. Why the difference in [Ca2+] between these two compartments?...
