BPG in hemoglobin means allosteric effector, that binds to the site that is completely remote from that active site for oxygen. The amount of BPG in red cells determines the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin.

Where does bpg join to hemoglobin?
receptor proteins on the surface of hemoglobin
What does BPG mean in basketball?
bpg = blocks (blocked shots) per game
What is BPG where is it produced and how does it affect the hemoglobins ability to bind with oxygen?
Actually bpg lowers the affinity of hemoglobin for binding to oxygen . It helps unloading the oxygen content near the tissues that need it like muscles . Hope I helped !
Why do blood banks dispose of blood with low levels of bisphosphoglycerate?
Low BPG levels indicate a low hemoglobin level in the red blood cells.
What small molecules bind to hemoglobin?
Carbon dioxide and BPG bind to amino acids located on hemoglobin. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron molecules located in the heme. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, one on each of the four iron molecules. Nitric oxide can also bind to hemoglobin when either oxygen or carbon dioxide are bound to the hemoglobin.
What are the factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?
The primary factor that determines how much oxygen is actually bound to hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the hemoglobin solution.
What promotes the release of oxygen from hemoglobin?
the primary factor in oxygen attachment to, or from, hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen. actively metabolized cells will use oxygen in energy production thus enhancing oxygen release from hemoglobin to meet their energy production requirements.
