Hypothetical intermediate structures are used, each of which is obtained from the procedure where one or more subunits in deoxy Hb are replaced by the corresponding O_2-liganded subunits in oxy Hb using the method of superimposition of two sets of atomic coordinates. When either α or β subunit is substituted with the corresponding subunit in oxy Hb, serious steric hindrances are produced between α_1FG 4(92)Arg and β_2C 3(37)Trp or between α_1C 6(41)Thr and β_2FG 4(97)His, all of which belong to the allosteric core affected directly by ligand binding. These steric hindrances become more serious when both α_1(α_2) and β_2 (β_1) subunits are substituted. However, no steric hindrance can be seen between subunits when the subunits in oxy Hb are substituted with the corresponding subunits in deoxy Hb., 紀要論文}, pages = {247--257}, title = {A STUDY ON THE QUATERNARY STRUCTURE CHANGE OF HEMOGLOBIN I.
