role of histidine 93 and histidine 64 in myoglobin?
Added by Lisa A.
Step 1
It consists of a single polypeptide chain with a heme group, which contains an iron atom. The iron atom is responsible for binding to oxygen. Histidine 93 and Histidine 64 are two important amino acid residues in myoglobin. They play crucial roles in the Show more…

Explain the function of histidine 57 in the mechanism of chymotrypsin.
What is the functional role of the "distal histidine"? It binds tightly to the heme iron to stabilize the complex between iron and oxygen. It stabilizes the complex between Fe2+ and dioxygen. It donates a hydrogen bond to the bound oxygen molecule to stabilize the complex between iron and oxygen. It stabilizes the oxygen complex and catalyzes the oxidation of iron to the ferric state. It improves access of carbon monoxide to the heme and inhibits oxidation of iron to the ferric state.
