In adult humans, the most common hemoglobin type is a tetramer (which contains 4 subunit proteins) called hemoglobin A, consisting of two Î± and two Î² subunits non-covalently bound, each made of 141 and 146 amino acid residues, respectively. This is denoted as Î± 2 Î² 2.
Each erythrocyte contains 200 to 300 molecules of hemoglobin, each molecule of hemoglobin contains four groups of heme, and each group of heme can carry one molecule of oxygen. A hemoglobin molecule contains four globin polypeptide chains composed of amino acids.Each polypeptide chain is composed of 141 to 146 amino acids. The absence, replacement, or addition of only one amino acid modifies the properties of the hemoglobin. hemoglobin molecule contains four globin polypeptide chains composed of amino acids.
