Which one of these is not an allosteric effector of hemoglobin binding to O2?
a.CO which binds in the same spot as O2
b.2,3-BPG which binds in the middle of the tetramer
c.CO2 which binds at the N-terminus of the subunits
d.H+ which binds to the amino acid side chains disrupting IM forces
Option A is correct.which means that carbon monoxide which bonds in the same spot ox oxygen, is not an allosteric effector of binding of haemoglobin to oxygen.
