What portion of hemoglobin molecule binds oxygen?
Hemoglobin contains a heme group with an Iron ion attached to it. The iron is what binds to O2.
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
The maltose molecule fits into the blank site of the maltose enzyme molecule?
The active site of the enzyme has a shape that matches the specific shape of the maltose molecule, allowing them to bind together. This binding is important for the catalytic function of the enzyme, which helps break down the maltose molecule into smaller components.
What is the molecule called that fits into the active site?
The molecule that fits into the active site of an enzyme is called a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where they undergo a chemical reaction to form products. This process is essential for the catalytic function of enzymes.
What is the site of oxygen binding on hemoglobin?
You have Iron atoms in hemoglobin. This atom is the binding site for oxygen in case of hemoglobin.
What does a molecule contain?
Hemoglobin is a protein with repeating segments called heme, each of which contains an iron atom, which is the active site where oxygen can be carried.
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
Where do reactants bind to the enzyme?
Reactants bind to a specific region on the enzyme called the active site. This is where the chemical reaction takes place between the reactants to form products. The active site is complementary in shape to the reactants, allowing for them to bind and interact with the enzyme.
Enzyme is limited in its ability to join with a particular molecule by the what?
Enzymes are limited in their ability to bind with a particular molecule by their specificity. Enzymes have specific active sites that only bind to certain substrates based on their shape and chemical properties. This specificity allows enzymes to catalyze specific reactions in biological systems.
Where do noncompetitive inhibitors bind in relation to the enzyme's active site?
Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.
Do uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the active site of enzymes?
No, uncompetitive inhibitors do not bind to the active site of enzymes. They bind to a different site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change that prevents the substrate from binding to the active site.
How many molecules of hemoglobin in one red blood cell?
250 million X 4 = < 1 billion4- is how many o2 molecules a single HBn carries assuming they are full saturated(which they almost never are)Actually, one hemoglobin molecule can carry 4 molecules of oxygen. There are ~1 billion molecules of oxygen in each RED BLOOD CELL.
