Abstract
Bacteria use globin coupled sensors (GCS) to sense and response to changing oxygen levels. Globin domains with high amino acid similarity display differential oligomerization and oxygen binding kinetics. Dimerization of the globin domain within GCS proteins results in changes to the heme pocket, altering the conformation and oxygen dissociation kinetics.254
