The molecular weight of sperm whale myoglobin is 17.8 kDa. The myoglobin content of sperm whale muscle is about 80 g. kg^-1. In contrast, the myoglobin content of some human muscles is about 8 g. kg^-1. Required:
Compare the amounts of O2 bound to myoglobin in human muscle and in sperm whale muscle. Assume that the myoglobin is saturated with O2, and that the molecular weights of human and sperm whale myoglobin are the same. How much O2 is bound to myoglobin in human muscle?
