Hemoglobin has a globular quaternary structure consisting of four polypeptide subunits (two alpha, two beta), each with a haem group containing a ferrous iron ion (Fe2+).
- globular - four polypeptides - two α polypeptides - two β polypeptides - each associated with haem group containing one ferrous ion (Fe2+)
