SOLVED: 1. Both myoglobin and hemoglobin utilize heme to bind oxygen,the tertiary structure of myoglobin is very similar to that of theindividual subunits in hemoglobin. And yet, the biologicalfunctions of the two molecules are very different.a.) What is the principal difference in the character of oxygenbinding to hemoglobin and to myoglobin?b.) What are the principal structural differences between thesetwo molecules that are responsible for the difference in theirfunction?c.) All following mol

SOLVED: Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin at the heme so tightly that it greatly stabilizes the R form of the protein. What effects does this have on hemoglobin and its oxygen saturation curve?a. CO-hemoglobin won't release oxygen at the partial pressure in the tissues, starving them of oxygen.b. CO-hemoglobin binds 2,3 BPG more tightly so that it binds oxygen with lower affinity at the partial pressure in the lungs.c. CO-hemoglobin has a more sensitive pH response and releases oxygen mor
