METALLOPORPHYRINS
HEMOGLOBIN MYOGLOBIN

STRUCTURE OF PORPHIN LIGAND

Porphines are macrocyclic tetradentate ligands made up of 4 pyrrole rings (C4H4NH) linked together through methene bridges(-CH=). This tetradentate ligand has a conjugated double bonded system with 4 nitrogen donor sites. 2 of the 4 Nitrogen are tertiary Nitrogen while the remaining 2 Nitrogen are secondary. The tert. Nitrogens donate pair of electrons form Coordinate bond()

The Sec. Nitrogens loses proton and forms Covalent bond.

HEMOGLOBIN AND MYOGLOBIN

Basic Function: Hemoglobin and Myoglobin, carry and bind O2.. Hb is found in the blood and Mb is found in muscle tissue. They both metalloproteins, containing iron at the center of a heme group.

Hb can bind 4 molecules of O2 and Mb can bind only 1 molecule of O2.

Mb has much higher oxygen affinity at the low pO2(partial pressure of O2).

HEMOGLOBIN AND MYOGLOBIN

Basic Function:
Hb is pH-sensitive while Mb is not.
Hemoglobin picks up O2 in the lungs and transports it to the rest of the body. Myoglobin accepts O2 from the hemoglobin in the muscles and stores it until needed for energetic process. Deoxygenated hemoglobin uses some of its amino acids to fix up CO2 and then transport CO2 back to the lungs.
