Hemoglobin is an iron Fe chelate tightly binding one Fe where it carries a 2+ charge(ferrous ion). If no oxygen molecule is bound it is called deoxyheemoglobin. Deoxyhemoglobin is a tetramer of <scene name='Sandbox4/Alpha2beta2/3'>alpha and beta strands</scene>.  The <scene name='Sandbox4/Overall_structure/2'>Overall Structure</scene> is shown here. Deoxyhemoglobin contanis a <scene name='Sandbox4/Heme_group/3'>Heme group</scene>, as well as an ampipathic surface.  The
