Abstract:Hemocyanins are giant oxygen transport proteins of molluscs and arthropods, which display high\ud
cooperativity and a complex pattern of conformations, generated by hierarchical allosteric interactions\ud
of their complex quaternary structure. A still unanswered question is the correlation between the\ud
functional properties of the postulated conformers and structural features that govern their oxygen\ud
binding, such as metal complex coordination. In this study we focus on the dodecameric hemocyanin of\ud
