How long is the protein’s primary sequence?Does this protein have any secondary, tertiary and/or quaternary structures present?Are there any molecular additions to this protein that are not amino ac
The distal Histidine (His 64) in myoglobin is subjected to three different mutations, this is one of them: H64N. (Histidine to Aparagine)
For the mutation, draw a theoretical binding curve and CO relative to the O2 and CO binding curves for wild-type Mb (see example below). Provide a clear rationale for the binding curve.
Question:-
What biological rationale can explain why there are so few variants observed at position 65 of the heme distal ligand and position 94 of the heme proximal ligand of myoglobin? Why does the number of variants differ between the two sites?

- THOUGHT QUESTION Imagine we identify a gene that is directly responsible for the effects of vasopressin on male mammals, including humans-we will call it trust1-that leads to the production of a vasopressin receptor in the brain, which we will call TRUST1. There are different versions of trust1, all of which lead to different levels of the behavior associated with this neuropeptide on male behavior. Give some examples where it would be a good idea to know a particular males genotype-that is, which of the trust1 genes he has.
