Which statements about the structure of haemoglobin are correct?
- 1A haemoglobin molecule has a spherical structure and amino acids with hydrophilic R-groups that are found near the centre of the molecule.
- 2Hydrogen bonds that form between the –NH group of one amino acid and the – group of another amino acid stabilise the tertiary structure.
- 3The tertiary structure of a haemoglobin molecule changes when an oxygen molecule binds to the haem group.
