Their newfound affinity is likely to end when they meet up with the
effect at the tissue level. So hemoglobin takes up with carbon dioxide and we get
carbaminohemoglobin. The fickle heme will drop CO₂ off at the lung when they run into the
effect. Life could go on like this unless our conjugated protein meets up with a really unusual gas like carbon monoxide.
and it really lasts because hemoglobin's affinity for CO is

This combination is called
