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.

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 !


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.

Why do blood banks dispose of blood with low levels of bisphosphoglycerate?

Blood with low levels of bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) may not deliver oxygen effectively to tissues when transfused into a patient. This can lead to inadequate oxygen supply, particularly in tissues with high oxygen demands like the brain and heart. Therefore, blood banks typically dispose of such blood to avoid potential complications in recipients.

What is MCH and MCHC?

MCH is the abbreviated form of mean cell hemoglobin, or the average amount of hemoglobin in the average red cell. MCH is part of the complete blood count and a normal amount of hemoglobin in a red cell is considered to be 27-32 picograms. MCHC is mean cell hemoglobin concentration, or the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of blood. MCHC is also part of the complete blood count and a normal concentration of hemoglobin is considered to be 32-36%.
