Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (SO 2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (PO 2), and is determined by what is called "hemoglobin affinity for oxygen"; that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the fluid that surrounds it. Structure of oxyhemoglobin
Other methods which propose to measure neural activity directly have been attempted (for example, measurement of the Oxygen Extraction Fraction, or OEF, in regions of the brain, which measures how much of the oxyhemoglobin in the blood has been converted to deoxyhemoglobin [4]), but because the electromagnetic fields created by an active or ...
Finger tip carboxyhemoglobin saturation monitor.. A CO-oximeter is a device that measures the oxygen carrying state of hemoglobin in a blood specimen, including oxygen-carrying hemoglobin (O2Hb), non-oxygen-carrying but normal hemoglobin (HHb) (formerly, but incorrectly, referred to as 'reduced' hemoglobin), as well as the dyshemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).
Histidine residues in hemoglobin can accept protons and act as buffers.Deoxygenated hemoglobin is a better proton acceptor than the oxygenated form. [1]In red blood cells, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the conversion of dissolved carbon dioxide to carbonic acid, which rapidly dissociates to bicarbonate and a free proton:
The color of human blood ranges from bright red when oxygenated to a darker red when deoxygenated. [2] It owes its color to hemoglobin, to which oxygen binds. Deoxygenated blood is darker due to the difference in shape of the red blood cell when oxygen binds to haemoglobin in the blood cell (oxygenated) versus does not bind to it (deoxygenated).

Family T (for truncated), with a 2/2 fold [8] All subfamilies can be chimeric, single-domain, or tandemly linked. [7] Subfamily TrHb1 (also T1 or N). Subfamily TrHb2 (also T2 or O). Includes 2/2 phytoglobins. Subfamily TrHb3 (also T3 or P). The M/F family of globins is absent in archaea. Eukaryotes lack GCS, Pgb, and T3 subfamily globins. [7]
However, Paramagnetic blood (deoxyhemoglobin) makes the local magnetic field inhomogenous. This has the effect of dephasing the signal emitted in this domain, causing destructive interference in the observed MR signal. Therefore, greater amounts of deoxyhemoglobin lead to less signal.
