Compact molecule, 4 chains packed closely together, almost in a spherical shape. - 3Describe the structrue ofaemoglobinHydrophocic r' group of amino acids, draws them to te centre, resultingh in bonds/forces holding them inwards.
Hydrophilic 'R' group points outwards to help maintain solubility. - 4Describe the structure of haemoglobinEach polypeptide chain contains a haem group, this contains the FE ion.
