Allosteric Effects
The conformational changes from the T to the R state is initiated by

movement of the proximal histidine towards the heme
binding of oxygen to the heme
movement of the F-helix, which contains the proximal His
reorganization of protein-protein contacts between the individual subunits

Allosteric Effects
Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) cannot bind to the oxygenated R state of hemoglobin because

BPG binds to the R state with the same affinity as the T state
its binding pocket becomes too small to accommodate BPG
it is displaced from the heme by oxygen
it is displaced from the heme by movement of the proximal histidine
