Its binding curve shows a steep upward curve followed by a flat region.
Its binding curve shows a steep upward curve followed by a flat region. When it's unbound, it shows a dome shape, but after binding it takes on a more flat shape. The E7 amino acid residue is important because it causes a tilt in the carbon monoxide molecule before binding that reduces carbon monoxide's affinity by 100 fold. It is abundant in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle as well as in diving animals. FTP, name this molecule consisting only of 153 amino acids and one subunit unlike it's oxygen carrying cousin hemoglobin.
