No, it has a tertiary structure.
The amino-acid secquence of myoglobin is the primary structure.
myoglobin
No, proteins are made up of amino acids. Yes, at a larger scale, some proteins are monomers, made up of a single chain of amino acids, without a quaternary structure. Myoglobin is an example. About 80 % of the proteins, however, do have a quaternary structure. Haemoglobin, for example, is made up of four subunits similar to myoglobin.
Both Myoglobin and Haemoglobin binds to oxygen, but they differ in many aspects. Usual site: Myoglobin: muscle tissues Haemoblogin: red blood cells (whole body) Main function: Myoglobin: stores oxygen (in muscle tissues) Haemoglobin: Oxygenation of tissues (whole body) Waste (CO2) collection (whole body) gas exchange (lungs, tissues) Oxygen carrying capacity: Myoglobin: monomeric = one heme prosthetic group, one iron atom Haemoglobin: tetrameric = four heme prosthetic groups, four iron atoms. Structure Myoglobin: secondary and tertiary, no allosteric interaction Haemoglobin: quaternary structure, allosteric interaction, different affinity Affinity to oxygen Myoglobin: Oxidation (Fe2+ → Fe3+) prevents oxygen binding. Haemoglobin: requirement specific affinity: (gradually increasing in the lungs, . gradually decreasing at the tissues) Prefered binding Myoglobin: Carbon monoxide preferred to Oxygen. Haemoglobin: Oxygen, carbon dioxide While in cases of hugely increased demand, myoglobin releases oxygen for metabolism, but, in the long run haemoglobin is more suitable for the purpose.
No it is a primary igneous structure
The amino-acid secquence of myoglobin is the primary structure.
myoglobin
Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue of vertebrates that is iron- and oxygen-binding. It is a primary oxygen-carrying pigment of muscle tissues and is related to hemoglobin, but only found in the bloodstream after a muscle injury.
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.

The primary structure of proteins is simply a peptide (chain of amino acids).
There are four types of protein structure. These include primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is the shape of the molecule. Tertiary structure is the interaction between groups. Quaternary structure is the interactions between protein subunits.
Primary structure
When myoglobin is reduced by nitric oxide through the curing process.
Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle. Myoglobin tests are done to evaluate a person who has symptoms of a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or other muscle damage.
in myoglobin, the molecules are compacted but in haemoglobin, the molecule formed by 4 subunits which are identical in pairs. its 4 times larger than myoglobin.
