Which of the following is true about myoglobin?
High-Yield Explanation
Features of O2 - MYOGLOBIN DISSOCIATION CURVE 1. Myoglobin dissociation curve has a rectangular hyperbola 2. 1 mole of myoglobin binds to 1 mole of O2 Myoglobin has higher affinity for O2 compared to Hb. (left shift of myoglobin - O2 curve compared to O2 - Hb curve) Because myoglobin is the store of O2, it has rectangular hyperbola curve as it holds O2 for long time.
