A hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules in a reversible way. The shape of the curve results from the interaction of bound oxygenmolecules with incoming molecules. The binding of the first molecule is difficult. ... Hemoglobin's affinity foroxygen increases as successive molecules of oxygen bind.
