Q. Myoglobin is a heme-containing protein composed of a single polypeptide chain. It is capable of binding oxygen to its heme group. Hemoglobin is a heme-containing protein composed of four polypeptide chains, each chain being capable of binding oxygen to its own heme group.
Structural analysis has revealed the structure of the myoglobin protein to be nearly identical to the structure of the individual polypeptide chains of hemoglobin.
Scientists have compared the primary structure of both myoglobin and hemoglobin proteins from humans to those of other species as a way of tracing evolutionary relatedness. Examine the data table below.
