Figure 2. A: Tetrameric structure of bovine Hb at pH 5.7 (heme groups are shown in red). B: Highlighted amino acid differences in the E helix and CD turn. The structure of the trout IV subunit is shown. The amino acid residues listed in Table VI are highlighted in red and labeled. The C, D, E, and F helices and the CD turn are labeled along with the heme and proximal and distal histidine residues.
