Why do you think heme needs to be coordinated to the protein to function well? Can heme isolated in the
blood also function as an oxygen carrier for us

Explain why the structure of myoglobin makes it function well as an oxygen-storage protein, why the structure of hemoglobin makes it function well as an oxygen-transport protein, How is hemoglobin binding to oxygen effected by increase in concentration of pH, CO2 and BPG?

Hemoglobin and myoglobin have differences in their functions and activities. Match the following aspects on the lef with the comect protein on the right. Clear All This protein's function is to transport oxygen. Hemoglobin This protein contains only one heme group. Myoglobin This protein releases oxygen at the Po found in peripheral tissues. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin This protein contains Neither hemoglobin nor myoglobin This protein has a hyperbolic saturation vs. Pon binding curve. Save and Exit
