Summary:
Hemoglobin and myoglobin are two related proteins important in oxygen binding and transport to cells. However, unlike myoglobin, hemoglobin exhibits positive cooperativity in oxygen binding. Oxygen saturation curves and cooperative binding by…

Description
Modified PowerPoint Slides for a lecture discussion and clicker case study on cooperative binding and oxygen saturation curves for hemoglobin and myoglobin
Notes
The PowerPoint slides were modified from the teaching slides for Chapter 13.2 of Integrating Concepts in Biology to focus on the role of hemoglobin and myoglobin in binding and transporting oxygen in a case study format.
