Carbaminohemoglobin Carbon dioxide travels through the blood in three different ways. One is these ways is bound to amino groups, creating carbamino compounds. Amino groups are available for binding at the N-terminals and at side-chains of arginine and lysine residues in hemoglobin. This forms carbaminohemoglobin . This formation is inversely proportional to the amount oxygen attached to hemoglobin. Thus, at lower oxygen saturation, more carbon dioxide is carried in this carbaminohemoglobin . This increase in carrying capacity for carbon dioxide in low oxygen levels explains the Haldane effect.
Carbaminohemoglobin Carbon dioxide travels through the blood in three different ways. One is these ways is by binding to amino groups, creating carbamino compounds. Amino groups are available for binding at the N-terminals and at side-chains of arginine and lysine residues in hemoglobin. When carbon dioxide binds to these residues carbaminohemoglobin is formed. This amount of carbaminohemoglobin formed is inversely proportional to the amount oxygen attached to hemoglobin. Thus, at lower oxygen saturation, more carbaminohemoglobin is formed. These dynamics explain the relative difference in hemoglobin's affinity for carbon dioxide depending on oxygen levels known as the Haldane effect.
