Despite many years of study, the molecular mechanism of cooperativity in hemoglobin (Hb) is not well understood. It is not known if the ",4 kcal difference for binding of O2 in the high affinity and low affinity forms of the protein results from interactions localized in a few bonds, possibly at the heme, or if it results from interactions delocalized over many bonds. Indeed, only recently have detailed quaternary structure-induced changes in the hemes been detected (45). Furthermore, the pathways by which information about ligand binding on one heme site is transmitted to the others has not been uncovered. Since the oxygen-binding energy difference, the free energy of cooperativity, is a thermodynamic property, its location can be determined from an examination of the deoxygenated and liganded proteins in both their high affinity (R) and low affinity (T) structures (25). An assessment of the energetic differences between these four steady-state protein structures should elucidate which interactions contain the free energy of cooperativity. Resonance Raman scattering plays a very import ant role in determining these interactions, since it is a very sensitive probe of the bonds involving the heme group.
