Hemoglobin and Myoglobin Mnemonic

Mnemonic for binding strengths and sites

"ABC" of glycosylated Hb (Hb1c):
    Glucose binds to Amino terminal of Beta Chain.

"HbF binds Forcefully":
       HbF binds oxygen more forcefully than HbA, 
       so Oxy-Hbdissociation curve shifts to left. 

Stored blood is SOS:
     Stored blood Hb binds to Oxygen Strongly because 
     of decrease in 2,3 BPG.

2,3 BPG binding site is BBC:
   BPG binds to Beta Chain of Hb.
Myoglobin binding strength is MOM:
    Myoglobin binds Oxygen More strongly than Hb.
