What is the molecular composition of hemoglobin? Does the functionality of hemoglobin as a protein depend upon its tertiary or upon its quaternary structure? |
|
Answer» Hemoglobin is a molecule made of four polypeptide chains, each bound to a iron-containing molecular group called a heme group. So the molecule contains four polypeptide chains and four heme groups. As a protein composed of association of polypeptide chains, the functionality of hemoglobin depends upon the integrity of its quaternary structure. |
