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.

  "In the early days of germ theory, contagious diseases were thought to be caused by fungi or bacteria. In the 1890's, Dmitri Ivanovski filtered extracts from diseased tobacco plants and discovered that the disease could be transmitted to new plants through the filtrate. He concluded that the disease was caused by particles smaller than bacteria; the tobacco mosaic virus", is partially correct. Dmitri Ivanovski discovered that filtered extracts from diseased tobacco plants could be transmitted to new plants through the filtrate. However, it was Dutch microbiologist Martinus Beijerinck who, while replicating Ivanovsky's experiments, proved that the filtrate contained a new infectious agent. Beijerinck named this agent a virus.

What is the difference between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent stem cells? Discuss the three main types of stem cells a
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Totipotent (omnipotent) stem cells can give rise to any of the 220 cell types found in an embryo as well as extra-embryonic cells (placenta). Pluripotent Stem Cells Pluripotent stem cells can give rise to all cell types of the body (but not the placenta). Multipotent Stem Cells Multipotent stem cells can develop into a limited number of cell types in a particular lineage.
