The α and ß subunits of hemoglobin bear a remarkable structural similarity to myoglobin. However, certain residues that are hydrophilic in myoglobin are hydrophobic in the subunits of hemoglobin. Why might this be the case? Hydrophilic residues on the surface of myoglobin form ionic interactions with similar regions on other myoglobin molecules. Hydrophobic residues on the surface of hemoglobin subunits interact with similar regions on the other subunits through van der Waals interactions. Hemoglobin forms long, extended structures that feature repeated sequences, whereas myoglobin forms globular structures. Myoglobin is a water-soluble protein, whereas hemoglobin is found in the hydrophobic environment of membranes.

Nucleotides

It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). 

Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
