Hemoglobin's Tetravalent Equilibrium Reaction with Oxygen as Compared to Myoglobin's Monovalent Reaction

Rectangular hyperbolic plot analysis (top) and Hill plot analysis (bottom) of the O2 binding reactions of tetravalent hemoglobin (Hb) and monovalent myoglobin (Mb) are compared according to variations (adjusted with sliders) in the ambient pO2 (the partial pressure of oxygen, pH, and theoretical values for the Hill coefficient (n) of Hb.
