Hill plots of oxygen binding for myoglobin and hemoglobin under physiological conditions
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The plot for myoglobin, which binds oxygen noncooperatively, is a solid black line with a slope of 1.

The plot for hemoglobin, which binds cooperatively, shows the switch from a lower-affinity state (larger P50) to a higher-affinity state (smaller P50) and has a Hill coefficient of about 3.
