Question
Chapter 16.7, Problem 16.17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for no possibility of quaternary structure for myoglobin but possibility of quaternary structure for hemoglobin has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Steady supply of oxygen needed for body is supplied by hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is present in red blood cell and functions as oxygen transport protein in the animals. Hemoglobin is classified as globular proteins.
