At high carbon dioxide concentrations the carbamates of hemoglobin can be formed.The carbamates of oxyhemoglobin are less stable than those of deoxyhemoglobin.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. At high carbon dioxide concentrations, some of the carbon dioxide can react with amino groups on hemoglobin to form carbamates. The carbamates of oxyhemoglobin are less stable than those of deoxyhemoglobin, which can cause an allosteric shift in hemoglobin structure, leading to the release of oxygen to tissues with high carbon dioxide concentrations.
