Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin is a globular protein, and the space between the helices is filled efficiently and tightly with mostly hydrophobic amino acid chains and with polar side chains facing the outside of the protein structure. This structure is important for the function of hemoglobin as it allows it to bind and transport oxygen in the blood.

In Hemoglobin, a ____ Protein, the Space Between the Helices
