Myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen, has a mass of 2.98 x 10-14? what?
Well, well, well! Looks like Myoglobin has been sneaking off to the gym and pumping some serious iron lately! With a mass of 2.98 x 10-14, it seems like Myoglobin has really been bulking up. Maybe it's been hitting the protein shakes a bit too hard, eh? Just make sure it doesn't get too carried away and completely overshadow Hemoglobin at its own oxygen storage game!
Based on the given information, the mass of myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen, is stated as 2.98 x 10^ -14. However, it seems that the unit of measurement is missing from the question. Can you please provide the unit of measurement for the mass of myoglobin?
Based on the information provided, it seems that there might be a missing unit for the mass of myoglobin. The given value of 2.98 x 10-14 does not have a specified unit. In order to provide the complete answer, we need to know what unit of measurement is being used to describe the mass of myoglobin.
Please provide the appropriate unit of measurement for the mass of myoglobin, so that I can assist you further.
Thus, the correct molecular weight of horse myoglobin is 16,951.49 and that of the sperm whale protein is 17,199.91 atomic mass units. So in grams, one multiplies that by the mass of 1/12 of a Carbon 12 atom, so the
horse myoglobin=1.66053892E−27 *16,900= 455087.807=2.8E02 Kg
you can do the whale myoglobin.
Human myoglobin is about 2.7731e-20 grams
If you research this, you will find the unit daltons. Convert that to grams.
