Hemoglobin
1 Each myoglobin molecule has one heme group and can bind one oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin on the other hand can bind up to 4 molecules of oxygen.
The oil drop model for proteins basically refers to the fact that in water, oil sticks together to form an oil droplet rather than being dispersed throughout the water in many droplets. Why? - Because of the hydrophobic effect. hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains cause water to form "cages" around them (this is because water cannot hydrogen bond to the protein so makes extra hydrogen bonds to itself), becoming more ordered and therefore losing entropy (S) which is unfavourable. This is the same for hydrophobic residues in the protein chain. If exposed, water will become ordered around them, losing entropy. The hydrophobic effect aims to minimise this entropic loss by burying the hydrophobic residues within the core of the protein. Hydrophobic residues can form relatively strong Van der waals forces with each other while the polar residues can form H-bonds with the water molecules.
heomoglobin..... a comlex compound of proteins with iron......
hemoglobin and myoglobin are 2 types of iron in the human body.
Cooperative binding. Hemoglobin can load and unload oxygen better than myoglobin. So it is kore sensitive to changes in the environment, vs. Myoglobin
The iron-containing protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen is called hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin
54
Myoglobin
iron. thanks for this quick answer.
Myoglobin's function is similar to that of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells to various tissues. Myoglobin has even higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin and is specific to muscle cells. Myoglobin thus acts as a storage of oxygen, as it holds oxygen inside heart and skeletal muscles.
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.
myoglobin: the molecule is compact there is no water inside it with the exception of a very small number(less than 5) of single water molecules presumably trapped at the time the molecules is folded up. hemoglobin: it iz 4 times larger than myoglobin. it is spherical molecule formed by 4 subunits which are identical in pairs . each subunits has a conformation closely resembling that of myoglobin and the aggregation is held together by extensive van der waals forces.
