  2. Bohr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect

    In the R state, the ionic pairings are absent, meaning that the R state's stability increases when the pH increases, as these residues are less likely to stay protonated in a more basic environment. The Bohr effect works by simultaneously destabilizing the high-affinity R state and stabilizing the low-affinity T state, which leads to an overall ...

  3. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    The Bohr effect favors the T state rather than the R state. (shifts the O 2-saturation curve to the right). Conversely, when the carbon dioxide levels in the blood decrease (i.e., in the lung capillaries), carbon dioxide and protons are released from hemoglobin, increasing the oxygen affinity of the protein.

  4. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    In biology, cell theory is a scientific theory first formulated in the mid-nineteenth century, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

  5. Root effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_Effect

    The Root effect is a physiological phenomenon that occurs in fish hemoglobin, named after its discoverer R. W. Root.It is the phenomenon where an increased proton or carbon dioxide concentration (lower pH) lowers hemoglobin's affinity and carrying capacity for oxygen.

  6. Cooperative binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_binding

    The first description of cooperative binding to a multi-site protein was developed by A.V. Hill. [4] Drawing on observations of oxygen binding to hemoglobin and the idea that cooperativity arose from the aggregation of hemoglobin molecules, each one binding one oxygen molecule, Hill suggested a phenomenological equation that has since been named after him:

  7. State-dependent memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-dependent_memory

    At its most basic, state-dependent memory is the product of the strengthening of a particular synaptic pathway in the brain. [9] A neural synapse is the space between brain cells, or neurons, that allows chemical signals to be passed from one neuron to another.

  8. Physiological psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_psychology

    A psychologists with the focus of health psychology would have a biopsychosocial model approach with patients. Forensic psychologists usually have a background in criminal justice and pursue a master's in forensic psychology. Clinical psychology can be pursued in education by a master's or a PsyD program to receive more research or academic ...

  9. Orchestrated objective reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestrated_objective...

    An essential feature of Penrose's theory is that the choice of states when objective reduction occurs is selected neither randomly (as are choices following wave function collapse) nor algorithmically. Rather, states are selected by a "non-computable" influence embedded in the Planck scale of spacetime geometry.
