how haemoglobin acts as an allosteric protein?

Answer Posted / krishnam

Haemoglobin is anallosteric protein.

the binding of o2 to haemoglobin enhances the binding of
extra o2 to hte same haemoglobin molecule.oxygen binds
cooperatively to haemoglobin.

The affinity of haemoglobin for o2 depends on ph.

oxygen affinity of haemoglobin is further regulated by
organic phosphates such as 2,3-biphosphoglycerate.

because of all these reasons haemoglobin acts as an
allosteric protein.
