Even though there is no gaseous oxygen near these cells it


Near the cells where oxygen is used, its chemical potential is significantly lower than near the lungs. Even though there is no gaseous oxygen near these cells, it is customary to express the abundance of oxygen in terms of the partial pressure of gaseous oxygen that would be in equilibrium with the blood. Using the independent-site model just presented, with only oxygen present, calculate and plot the fraction of occupied heme sites as a function of the partial pressure oxygen. This curve is called the Langmuir adsorption isotherm ("isotherm" because it's for a fixed temperature). Experiments show that adsorption myosin by follows the shape of this curve quite accurately.
