Oxygen dissociation curves in different species Flashcards
1
Q
why do species have different HB?
A
Different base sequence in the end for HB
2
Q
How do you read protein bases
A
In 3’s
3
Q
What does the different base sequence cause?
A
Polypeptide chains will fold and coil differently to make different types of HBB
4
Q
What is the difference in the HB?
A
The. Affinity
5
Q
What causes the difference in HB?
A
type of environment: Altitude
6
Q
What are the characteristics like of species in HIGH altitude?
A
- Low metabolic rate
- Higher affinity (loading easily)
