Determine which statements apply to hemoglobin, myoglobin, or neither. Hemoglobin The oxygen dissociation curve is sigmoidal in shape ("S"-shaped). As oxygen binds to this molecule the shape of the molecule changes, enhancing further oxygen binding. The binding pattern for this molecule ist considered cooperative. The oxygen Myoglobin dissociation curve is hyperbolic in shape. This molecule has a greater affinity for oxygen. This molecule delivers oxygen more efficiently to tissues. Neither Oxygen binds irreversibly to this molecule. Carbon monoxide binds at an allosteric site, lowering oxygen binding affinity.
