title: Reasons for the cooperative effects in the haemoglobin case.
abstract: The cooperative question in haemoglobin is faced, and the use of an analogy to an electronic circuit is hypothesized. On this basis, the Hb-oxygen uptake and release mechanism is discussed, and a new explanation of the cooperative effect is proposed.
