About Hemoglobin and myoglobin

GoConqr Original

Start with structure

The Hemoglobin and myoglobin section sits within the Protein Structure, Folding and Function unit in Biochemistry. Its resources connect protein structure with function through hemoglobin and myoglobin. The listed material includes flashcards, mind maps, notes and quizzes, so you can approach the section in different ways.

A useful starting point is the mind map Hemoglobin (Hb). It outlines hemoglobin as a tetramer with alpha and beta dimers and shows the role of iron in oxygen binding. The mind map Hemoglobin also covers hemoglobin subunits and describes myoglobin as a protein made up of alpha helices.

Move from maps to flashcards

After using a map to organize the main ideas, work through Hb and Mb Protein Structure and Function. This flashcard deck covers myoglobin function and structure alongside hemoglobin. The Haemoglobin deck includes BPG, hemoglobin and the environment around heme.

For a written account, the notes Myoglobin and Haemoglobin discuss the heme group and its role in oxygen binding. Use the notes alongside a map to connect the terms in the flashcards with the structures they describe.

Explore binding and test your recall

The mind map on the role of BPG in hemoglobin function looks at its binding to deoxygenated hemoglobin. Effects of pH covers oxygen binding, proton release and the Bohr effect. These resources offer ways to explore function after studying the structural outlines.

The listed lecture quizzes provide questions on hemoglobin and heme. Use a quiz after studying a map, then return to the map or flashcards to check the ideas behind your answers. In the wider unit, this section offers a way to connect the structures and functions covered by its resources. Pick a resource and build a study sequence that works for you.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource is a good place to start?

The mind map Hemoglobin (Hb) is a useful starting point for an overview of hemoglobin structure and oxygen binding. The Hb and Mb Protein Structure and Function flashcards can follow it, with material on myoglobin structure and function as well as hemoglobin. The notes Myoglobin and Haemoglobin offer a written account of heme and oxygen binding.

What do the mind maps cover?

The listed mind maps cover hemoglobin structure, oxygen binding and factors related to hemoglobin function. Hemoglobin (Hb) describes the protein's subunits and iron. Another map looks at the role of BPG, while Effects of pH covers proton release, oxygen binding and the Bohr effect. The Hemoglobin map also includes an outline of myoglobin structure.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed on the page is free to open, study and take without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

How can I use the quizzes with the other resources?

The listed lecture quizzes include questions on hemoglobin and heme. They can be used after a mind map or flashcard deck to check recall. If a question brings up an unfamiliar idea, the relevant map, notes or flashcards provide material to study before returning to the quiz.
