Quiz zum Vortrag
Which of the following is true regarding the cooperativity in hemoglobin?
- The binding of the first oxygen is the least favorable oxygen binding.
- The binding of the last oxygen is the least favorable oxygen binding.
- The binding of oxygen turns hemoglobin into the T-state.
- In the R-state, hemoglobin can carry three oxygen molecules.
- Once the first globin changes to the R-state, all other globins change to the R-state.
In what way does the myoglobin bind to oxygen?
- With higher affinity than hemoglobin
- To the same extent as hemoglobin
- With lower affinity than hemoglobin
- Irreversibly
- Through a process call cooperativity
Which of the following is NOT true regarding the phenomenon of cooperativity?
- Myoglobin changes from a relaxed to a tight state at high oxygen concentration levels, favoring oxygen binding.
- Cooperativity is displayed by systems having dependently acting identical or near-identical subunits.
- Cooperativity of hemoglobin toward oxygen binding in the lungs shows conformational changes from the T state to the R state.
- The binding of oxygen on the hemoglobin molecule enhances the affinity of adjacent binding sites for oxygen.
- The binding of a ligand to one of the binding sites increases or decreases the affinity of the other binding sites to the ligand.
Which of the following are NOT correctly matched?
- Cooperativity — binding of oxygen to myoglobin
- Oxygen affinity curve for hemoglobin — Sigmoidal
- Binding of oxygen to myoglobin — Low concentrations of oxygen
- Oxygen affinity curve for myoglobin — Hyperbolic
- Oxygen and hemoglobin — Cooperativity
