Which curve represents the oxygen dissociation curve for myoglobin? |
A) I
B) II
C) III
D) IV
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Myoglobin has only one haem group and there can be non-co-operative binding, hence the shape of the dissociation curve is hyperbolic rather than sigmoidal. Also, myoglobin has a very high affinity for oxygen and does not release oxygen until a very low oxygen tension.You need to login to perform this action.
