QUATERNARY STRUCTURE Unlike haemoglobin, myoglobin does not have a quaternary structure, as it consists of a single polypeptide chain. FUNCTION: OXYGEN STORAGE WITHIN MUSCLE Show oxygens DISPLAY Start /stop rotation This graphics display was prepared to support a unit on the levels of protein structure using haemoglobin and myoglobin as an example. |
