Determine the Hill coefficient, n, for myoglobin (Mb), hemoglobin (Hb), and recombinant hemoglobin (HbX).

 

Given the results of the Hill plot and the dissociation curves, which of the following are true?

  • Oxygen binding by HbX is less cooperative than for Hb

  • The Hill coefficient for Hb is equal to the number of hemoglobin O2 binding sites

  • Oxygen binding by Hb is less cooperative than for Mb.

  • HbX will load less O2 in the lungs and unload less O2 in active tissues than normal Hb.

A Hill plot uses the Hill equation to quantitatively assess the
degree of cooperativity in binding. The fractional saturation (
Y) of hemoglobin by O, can be expressed as a function of
The researcher uses the oxygen dissociation curve data in a
