A hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules in a reversible way. The bond has a Sigmoidal shape. Thanks.
Hemoglobin contains a heme group with an Iron ion attached to it. The iron is what binds to O2.
I'd be interested to know, myself. It weighs ~ 64000 da. So at a REALLY rough guess, I'd say about 7500 atoms, just to give a picture. Please do update the answer if anybody knows/can find this.
