Resource summary

oxygen dissociation curve
  1. transported by haemoglobin
    1. primary structure: amino acids of 4 chains (a&b)
      1. secondary structure: alpha helix
        1. tertiary structure: loosely folded precisely for function
          1. quaternary structure: globular 2alphaglobin and 2 betaglobin chains (4 polypeptides) with a haem group
      2. readily accosiate with oxygen at exchange surface (alveoli)
        1. readily dissociate at respiring tissues
      3. oxygen affinity
        1. cooperative binding
          1. increases haemoglobins affinity as O2 is added which changes its shape.
          2. in presence of CO2 o2 binding is more loose
            1. good in respiring tissues
          3. high affinity
            1. low oxygen in area
              1. high association and low dissociation
                1. low metabolic rate
              2. left
              3. low affinity
                1. high oxygen in area
                  1. low association and high dissociation
                    1. high metabolic rate
                  2. right
