The distal Histidine (His 64) in myoglobin is subjected to three different mutations, this is one of them: H64N. (Histidine to Aparagine)   For the mutation, draw a theoretical binding curve and CO relative to the O2 and CO binding curves for wild-type Mb (see example below). Provide a clear rationale for the binding curve.
