Protein Function: Overview
• Transport• Contraction• Protection• Catalysis • Regulation
– Gene regulation– Hormonal regulation
• Structural Support
Chapter 7 - with emphasis onMyoglobin and Hemoglobin
15
Why focus on Mb and Hb?
• Biological Importance
• Role in Transport of O2
– Myoglobin: O2 transport to muscles
– Hemoglobin: O2 transport from lungs
• Ligand Binding– Simple binding– Cooperativity and Allosteric Interactions
16
Ligand Binding: General Concepts
• How can ligand binding be:– Described?– Measured?– Regulated?
• Distinctions between binding categories– One Protein + One Ligand– One Protein + Multiple Ligands
