The quaternary structure describes the way in which certain, complex, usually intracellular enzymes consist of a number of polypeptide chains associated by means of secondary forces to form multi-subunit enzymes.... Evaluation of the functional significance of the quaternary structure is an important part of fundamental studies on the catalytic properties of enzymes. In some enzymes, which exhibit allosteric properties, the main correlations between subunit interactions and enzyme activity are generally understood. However in many other enzymes considerably less is known about the occurrence of subunit interactions or the significance of the oligomeric structure. 2, record 4, English, - quaternary%20structure

In the normal function of hemoglobin and myoglobin the iron atom does not undergo change in valence as oxygen is bound and lost; it remains in the Fe(II) state. However, both hemoglobin and myoglobin can be oxidized to the Fe(III), or hemin, form by oxidizing agents such as ferricyanide, with a change in color from red to brown. The respective products, which do not function reversibly as oxygen carriers, are called methemoglobin and metmyoglobin. In the cytochromes, however, the iron atom undergoes reversible changes between Fe(II) and Fe(III) forms; cytochromes serve as electron carriers, whereas hemoglobin and myoglobin act as ligand (oxygen) carriers. 3, record 12, English, - methaemoglobin
