The value of n, the Hill coefficient, for hemoglobin is about 2 to 3 times as great as the value for myoglobin.

Hill Equation

The two closely related equations that help to explain the binding of macromolecules to ligands are called the Hill equation. It helps to quantify the interaction between various ligand binding sites.

Hill coefficient

It is used to describe the cooperativity of ligand binding. It can be positive and negative depending on the value of the Hill coefficient. If the value of the Hill coefficient is more than one then it exhibits positively cooperative binding and if it is less than one then it exhibits negatively cooperative binding. Then there is the noncooperative binding where the Hill coefficient value is one. As for the hemoglobin and myoglobin, the values are,

  • Hill coefficient of hemoglobin is 2.7 - 3.
  • Hill coefficient of myoglobin is 1.0.

Thus hemoglobin is positively cooperative and myoglobin exhibits noncooperative binding.

Botox injections have been approved by the food and drug administration (fda) as a procedure to treat spasms of the flexor muscl
Nostrana [21]

Botox injections comprise Botulinum toxin and is used in the treatment of some kind of eye ailments, like strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharospasm (involuntary blinking), to treat movement disorders (like torticollis, cervical dystonia) or muscle spasms/stiffness. It can also be used to minimize the cosmetic appearances of wrinkles.

However, due to certain side effects, the drug was ban by FDA, but it has been approved by the FDA for treating spasms of the flexor muscles. Although, there is a scenario that the claim for the application of the drug could be rejected in case of a lack of a medical necessity, that is if it does not fulfil the usual accepted professional medical standards of care.
