Description
Optional figure here:
Oxygen binds to all 4 sites of hemoglobin's heme sites, but the affinities
are cooperative (meaning that affinity increases for each
site filled. Further the affinities are influenced by pH and by the binding of
CO2 to the protein's side chains. This model assumes equilibrium binding, i.e.
instantaneous binding in accord with the relevant concentration levels. Thus
although each reaction might be described by an on and an off reaction, it
assumes rather that this reaction goes to equilibrium at each of the 4 sites in
succession. The pO2 at 50% saturation, i.e. 50% of Hb bound to O2, is the pO2
at which the molar concentration of O2 equals an effective Kd. Here, the pO2
is run through a wide range of concentrations, but there is no direct
calculation of the Kd or p50. It equals 1/KHbO2 only at 50% saturation point,
not at other pO2's. The p50 is 26.8 mmHg at pCO2 40, pH 7.24. The model has
the particular virtue of accounting for pCO2 and pH, and of being expressed as
a Hill-type expression, though the expression's key modifier is the variable
KHbO2, the apparent Hill coefficient for O2. KHbO2 is an invertible expression
and therefore allows great computational convenience during calculations of
transients and intracapillary gradients. The parent model (Dash and
Bassingthwaighte 2004) accounts also for the effect of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate
and temperature.
