...reversibly binds O2 * O2: low solubility in water; diffusion through tissue is ineffective past a few mm Myoglobin Contains a Heme Prosthetic Group * Figure 7.2, 7.3 * Not responsible for knowing the structure of heme, just need to know that it contains iron which gives it is specific O2 binding properties * The color properties of this group changes due to the presence of oxygen * Red when there is oxygen is bound; blue when oxygen is not bound Myoglobin’s O2 Binding Curve is Hyperbolic * Consider the chemical equation for O2 reversibly bind with Mb: Mb + O2 MbO2 * The dissociation constant for this reaction is: K= MbO2MbO2 But this relationship is not helpful experimentally, so we need to reformulate it in terms that we can measure * Begin by writing an equation that gives us a measure of the fraction of binding sites that are occupied YO2= MbO2Mb+MbO2 * After some algebra, obtain...
