Term
What is the difference between globular proteins and fibrous proteins?

Term
What are the oxygen binding proteins?
Definition
Myoglobin, Hemoglobin, Cytochromes
Term
What transports oxygen from the lungs to various tissues?
Definition
hemoglobin
Term
Oxygen gets dumped to ___________ because of its __________ affinity for oxygen.
Definition
myoglobin; higher
Term
Myoglobin has a lesser/higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin?
Definition
higher
Term
The oxygen binding curve for hemoglobin is:
Definition
sigmoidal
Term
The oxygen binding curve for myoglobin is:
Definition
hyperbolic
Term
oxygen carriers are ___________ proteins.
Definition
globular
Term
How many polypeptide chains make up hemoglobin (tetramer)?
Definition
four
Term
One heme molecule of hemoglobin binds ____ oxygen molecules.
Definition
4
Term
Taut is low/high affinity?
Definition
low
Term
Relaxed is low/high affinity?
Definition
high
Term
Hemoglobin changes from ______ to ______ when it binds with O2.
Definition
taut; relaxed
Term
What are the different forms of hemoglobin?
Definition
oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin
Term
hemoglobin plus O2; relaxed (R ) state, more stable (higher affinity for oxygen; more stable than T when oxygen is bound)
Definition
oxyhemoglobin
Term
has a vacant O2 binding site; tense (T) state (low affinity state; more stable than R when no oxygen bound)
Definition
deoxyhemoglobin
Term
iron in the oxidized state (Fe+3) plus hemoglobin (Fe+3 can’t bind oxygen)
Definition
methemoglobin
Term
___ and ___ : have higher affinity for heme (Fe+2) than oxygen; can displace oxygen from Hb
Definition
CO; NO
Term
What percent of hemoglobin is HbA?
Definition
95%
Term
What percent of hemoglobin is HbA2?
Definition
4%
Term
What form of hemoglobin is HbF?
Definition
1%
Term
Where is HbF usually found?
Definition
fetus during 2nd and 3rd trimester
Term
HbF-Interaction with 2,3-BPG is _______ resulting in an _______ affinity for O2 and a greater stabilization of the R state. This allows for a more efficient transfer of O2 from maternal to fetal hemoglobin
Definition
weaker; increased
Term
There are ___ O2 binding sites on one hemoglobin.
Definition
4
Term
Each O2 binding site is __________.
Definition
cooperative
Term
Oxygen is a ________ _________ effector.
Definition
homotropic positive
Term
Positive effectors shift the binding curve to the ______.
Definition
left
Term
If the binding curve is shifted left, this means that you achieve oxygen saturation slower/quicker?
Definition
quicker
Term
oxygen saturation is a combination of _________ and __________ hemoglobin.
Definition
oxygenated; deoxygenated
Term
percentage of hemoglobin molecules that are oxygenated is called:
Definition
oxygen saturation
Term
Saturation is maximum at _____ O2 pressure, such as in the ______.
Definition
high; lungs
Term
As hemoglobin moves to peripheral organs and the O2 pressure ____, _______ drops allowing O2 to be supplied to the ________.
Definition
drops; saturation; tissues
Term
At _______ pO2, small differences in O2 pressure result in big changes in O2 saturation of hemoglobin. This facilitates _________ of O2 in _________ __________.
Definition
lower; dissociation; peripheral tissues
Term
Describes the rightwards shift in the O2 saturation curve with increasing H+ concentration because oxygen is released more readily (higher CO2 & BPG cause same effect)
Definition
The Bohr Effect
Term
O2 is released in tissues where [H+] is____ due to CO2 production by metabolism
Definition
high
Term
What is the byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis if the RBC?
Definition
2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate
Term
2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate reacts with what?
Definition
only deoxygenated RBC
Term
when pO2 is decreased, as in chronic tissue deprivation of O2, the level of 2,3-BPG _________. This results in a further_________ shift of the curve facilitating O2 release to the deprived tissues
Definition
increases; rightward
Term
What causes carbon monoxide poisoning?
Definition
Affinity of globin bound heme for CO is 104 times more then that for O2; thus, it will bind preferentially
Term
Bound CO allosterically _______ hemoglobin (shifts O2 saturation curve to the _____)
Definition
activates; left
Term
During carbon monoxide poisoning, Any __ already bound can/can not be released (trapped in R state) so its transport to tissues becomes seriously compromised
Definition
O2; cannnot
Term
How do you treat CO2 poisoning?
Definition
Hyperbaric O2 therapy (administration of 100% O2) is used to treat CO poisoning
Term
Fibrous proteins exhibit special _________
properties, based on structure obtained from
combination of specific amino acids in regular,
___________ structural elements
Definition
mechanical; secondary
Term
Fibrous protein molecules have _______, _________
shape
Definition
long, narrow
Term
Fibrous proteins usually exist as __________
aggregates (fibers) of many protein chains.
Definition
insoluble
Term
_________ is a structural connective tissue accounting 30% of total body protein.
Definition

Term
Collagen has how many aa residues per chain?
Definition
1000
Term
How much of our protein is collagen?
Definition
