    2) We discussed in class how the molecule 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) is an inhibitor of hemoglobin (Hb). Answer the following questions about BPG and its regulation of oxygen binding: a) Would BPG have any effect on myoglobin’s ability to bind or release oxygen? If so, describe how BPG would affect myoglobin. If not, why? b) Based on the observation that BPG binds preferentially to partially deoxygenated Hb, briefly explain (1-2 sentences) where BPG is most likely to be most effective on...
