| Abstract | The distortions of the α$_{1}$, α$_{2}$, β$_{1}$, and β$_{1}$ hemes of human hemoglobin (HbA) in various quaternary states and as affected by the presence of allosteric effectors was investigated by subjecting CHARMM energy-minimized models to normal coordinate structural decomposition (NSD) analysis. NSD was applied to the individual hemes extracted from the R, T, and R2-state models of HbA and to HbA bound to DPG and to IHP. Overall, NSD results are indicative of characteristic distortions, not only for the hemes of the different HbA quaternary states, but also for the hemes of the HbA models bound to allosteric effectors. Comparing the distortions of the inequivalent α and β hemes in T-state HbA, we show good correlation between NSD and the experimentally observed low-frequency ν$_{52}$(E$_{g}$) and γ$_{7}$ (A$_{2u}$) modes reported in the literature for α and β HbA hemes while noting substantialdifferences between these types for B$_{2u}$ and B$_{1u}$ distortions. For the R2 hemes, NSD yields heme distortions that are more comparableto those of the R-state, especially in magnitude. However, the R2 hemes do not exhibit inequivalence of α and β heme distortions, a result that may contribute to an understanding of the functional importance of this state. Relative to T-state heme distortions, NSD results on the effector-bound hemes show that tertiary changes induced in T-state HbA as a result of binding DPGand IHP drastically affect heme distortions. In the α hemes extracted from the HbA-DPG model, most noteworthy are the increasedwav(x) and wav(y) distortions and enhancement of ruf and dom deformations. In the β hemes, the wav(y) is the most affected distortion with increase in sad. The NSD results are also different for the hemes of the HbA-IHP model, in that the β sad and ruf deformations are more enhanced with increase of doming in the α hemes. Our results describe the effect of the subtle protein-induced changes on the nonplanarity of the HbA hemes that may play a role in the regulation of their oxygen affinity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
