Myoglobin is a single-chain globular protein of 153aa, containing a heme prosthetic group in the center around which the remaining apoprotein folds.
It has eight alpha helices and a hydrophobic core.
It has a molecular weight of 16,700 daltons, and is the primary oxygen-carrying pigment of muscle tissues.
Unlike the blood-borne hemoglobin, to which it is structurally related, this protein does not exhibit cooperative binding of oxygen, since positive cooperativity is a property of multimeric/oligomeric proteins only.
Instead, the binding of oxygen by myoglobin is unaffected by the oxygen pressure in the surrounding tissue.
Myoglobin is often cited as having an "instant binding tenacity" to oxygen given its hyperbolic oxygen dissociation curve.
