How is oxygen binding affected when the Val residue is mutated
to serine?
|
Substitution of valine with serine would increase the affinity
of oxygen binding because the side chain of Ser increases the
polarity of the binding site for oxygen, which is a polar
molecule. |

Substitution of valine with serine would increase the affinity
of oxygen binding because the side chain of Ser increases the
polarity of the binding site for oxygen, which is a nonpolar
molecule. |

Substitution of valine with serine would decrease the affinity
of oxygen binding because the side chain of Ser increases the
polarity of the binding site for oxygen, which is a polar
