1. Myoglobin and hemoglobin are proteins that bind oxygen reversibly through an iron-containing heme group. Myoglobin stores oxygen in muscle cells while hemoglobin transports oxygen in blood. 2. The binding of oxygen is influenced by small conformational changes in the protein that allow oxygen access to the binding site. Hemoglobin can better respond to oxygen demand through cooperative binding between its subunits. 3. Protein structure affects ligand binding through interactions between the ligand and a
