Hemoglobin's Moving Around
(To the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")
Copyright © Kevin Ahern
Oh isn't it great
What proteins can do
Especially ones that bind to O2
Hemoglobin's moving around
Inside of the lungs
It picks up the bait
And changes itself from T to R state
Hemoglobin's moving around
The proto-porphyrin system
Its iron makes such a scene
Arising when an O2 binds
Pulling up on histidine
The binding occurs
Cooperatively
Thanks to changes qua-ter-nar-y
Hemoglobin's moving around
It exits the lungs
Engorged with O2
In search of a working body tissue
Hemoglobin's moving around
Hemoglobin's Moving Around

Oh isn't it great
What proteins can do
Especially ones that bind to O2
Hemoglobin's moving around
The proton concentration
Is high and has a role
Between the alpha betas
It finds imidazole
Inside of the lungs
It picks up the bait
And changes itself from T to R state
Hemoglobin's moving around
To empty their loads
The globins decree
"We need to bind 2,3BPG"
Hemoglobin's moving around
The proto-porphyrin system
Its iron makes such a scene
Arising when an O2 binds
Pulling up on histidine
The stage is thus set
For grabbing a few
Cellular dumps of CO2
Hemoglobin's moving around
The binding occurs
Cooperatively
Thanks to changes qua-ter-nar-y
Hemoglobin's moving around
And then inside the lungs it
Discovers ox-y-gen
And dumps the CO2 off
To start all o'er again
It exits the lungs
Engorged with O2
In search of a working body tissue
Hemoglobin's moving around
So see how this works
You better expect
To have to describe the Bohr effect
Hemoglobin's moving around

I’m gonna put some oxygens
beside my porphyrin rings
To nudge the irons up a notch
and yank on histidines
The globins’ shapes will change a bit,
oh what a sight to see
The way they bind to oxygen
co-op-er-AH-tive-ly
And as I exit from the lungs
to swim in the bloodstream
Metabolizing cells they all
express their needs to me
To them I give up oxygen
and change from R to T
While my amines, they hang onto
the protons readily

The way they bind to oxygen

But that's not all the tricks I know,
there's more that’s up my sleeve
Like gaps between sub-U-nits that
hold 2,3-BPG
When near met-a-bo-LI-zing cells,
I bind things that diffuse
The protons and bicarbonates
from lowly cee oh twos
And as I exit from the lungs
to swim in the bloodstream
Metabolizing cells they all
express their needs to me
To them I give up oxygen
and change from R to T
While my amines, they hang onto
the protons readily
CHORUS
That’s the way it is
When your cells are at play
Go say hip hip hooray
For the bloody things
