When fully liganded with carbon monoxide, Hb zeta(2)beta(s)(2) displays a central water cavity, a zeta 1-beta(s)2 (or zeta 2-beta(s)1) interface, intersubunit salt-bridge/hydrogen-bond interactions, C-terminal beta His146 salt-bridge interactions, and a beta-cleft, that are highly unusual for a relaxed hemoglobin structure and are more typical of a tense conformation.

This quantity is reduced during blood flow through capillaries as oxygen exchanges with tissue, with the extent a reduction being about 5 ml (yielding about 14.4 ml oxygen which would correspond to about 75% hemoglobin saturation (PO 2 of 40 mm Hg). (pharmacology2000.com)
In this circumstance less than 5 ml O 2 remain associated with hemoglobin per 100 ml blood. (pharmacology2000.com)
The combination of this cardiac output effect in the magnitude of O 2 desaturation of hemoglobin would yield and up to a 20-fold increase in tissue oxygen transport. (pharmacology2000.com)
Oxygen affinity of hemoglobin is therefore increased, as is the production of new erythrocytes, resulting in compensated anemia. (mhmedical.com)
Percent saturation of hemoglobin is plotted as a function of oxygen tension (Po 2 ). (veteriankey.com)

O 2 is carried in blood in two forms: dissolved in solu-tion and in reversible association with hemoglobin. (brainkart.com)
Even with a Pao 2 of 100 mm Hg, the maximum amount of O 2 dissolved in blood is very small (0.3 mL/dL) com-pared with that bound to hemoglobin. (brainkart.com)
Each hemoglobin molecule binds up to four O 2 molecules. (brainkart.com)
The complex interaction between the hemoglobin subunits results in nonlinear (an elon-gated S shape) binding with O 2 ( Figure 23-22 ). (brainkart.com)
Hemoglobin saturation is the amount of O 2 bound as a percentage of its total O 2 -binding capacity. (brainkart.com)
Their effect on hemoglobin-O 2 inter-action can be expressed by P 50 , the O 2 tension at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated ( Figure 23-23 ). (brainkart.com)
The normal P 50 in adults is 26.6 mm Hg (3.4 kPa).An increase in blood hydrogen ion concen-tration reduces O 2 binding to hemoglobin (Bohr effect). (brainkart.com)
Carbon monoxide, cyanide, nitric acid, and ammo-nia can combine with hemoglobin at O 2 -binding sites. (brainkart.com)
Carbon monoxide is particularly potent, having 200-300 times the affinity of O 2 for hemoglobin, combining with it to form carboxyhe-moglobin. (brainkart.com)

Affinity3
When compared with either Hb S or with normal human adult Hb A (alpha(2)beta(2)), Hb zeta(2)beta(s)(2) exhibits atypical properties that include a high oxygen affinity, reduced cooperativity, a weak Bohr effect and blunted 2,3-diphosphoglycerate allostery. (janelia.org)
a leftward shift increases hemoglobin's affinity for O 2 , reducing its availability to tissues. (brainkart.com)
The influence of CO 2 tension on hemoglobin's affinity for O 2 is important physiologically and is secondary to the associated rise in hydrogen ion concentration when CO 2 tension increases. (brainkart.com)
Oxygen5
This crystallographic study provides insights into the altered oxygen-transport properties of Hb zeta(2)beta(s)(2) and, moreover, decouples tertiary- and quaternary-structural events that are critical to Hb ligand binding and allosteric function. (janelia.org)
Therefore, arterial blood with a PO 2 of about 95 mm Hg (torr) would contain about 0.29 volume% of dissolved oxygen. (pharmacology2000.com)
The metabolic oxygen requirement at rest turns out to be approximately 6 volume% which can be reached in the context of a hyperbaric chamber pressurized to about 3 atm. (pharmacology2000.com)
A higher P 50 is generally found in small mammals and allows unloading of oxygen at a high P O 2 to satisfy their higher metabolic demands. (veteriankey.com)

Concentration3
After moderate haemorrhage, a low PCV is remarkably well tolerated because of compensatory mechanisms such as increase in concentration of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in red blood cell (Ganong, 2003). (scialert.net)
Despite the various benefits, O3 toxicity and clinical utility depends on the concentration and administration to the ap-propriate site.1,2,4,5 One of the major contraindications of O3therapy is lung inhalation. (diegovitello.it)
Pyruvate kinase deficiency, one of the most common enzymatic defects of the erythrocyte, manifests clinically as a hemolytic anemia that can range from a mildly compensated anemia to severe anemia of childhood. (medscape.com)
At about 90% saturation, the decrease in available O 2 receptors flattens the curve until full saturation is reached. (brainkart.com)

Metabolic2
These argumentsgive rise to the concept of O 2 utilization -- 25% at rest and nominally up to 75%-85% during exercise, with the possibility of achieving100% O 2 utilization in cases of relatively low blood flow rates in combination with high local tissue metabolic requirements.

Effect1
Van Kempen and co-workers argued that both etiology and symptoms of SIDS can be explained by low concentrations in erythrocytes of phosphate metabolites, mainly 2,3-biphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG, also known as 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, 2,3-DPG), which in effect would impair muscle function (especially diaphragm) and lead to respiratory failure as Siren and Siren originally stated.
