Hemoglobin has been a long-standing paradigm for understanding protein allostery. Here, the x-ray structures of two chemically crosslinked, fully liganded hemoglobins, alpha2beta82CA82beta and alpha2beta82ND82beta, are described at 2.3 A and 2.6 A resolution, respectively. Strikingly, these crosslinked hemoglobins assume intermediate conformations that lie between those of R and the controversial liganded hemoglobin state R2 rather than between R and T. Thus, these structures support only a T left and right arrow R left and right arrow R2 allosteric pathway and underscore the physiological importance of the R2 conformation.
