Table 2.3. Characteristics of various states of myoglobin
Pigment Ligand Conditions Iron State Color
Deoxymyoglobin H2O Very low oxygen tension Fe++ Purple-red/purple-pink
(<5 mm Hg). H2O is ionically
(reversibly) bound to Fe++
Oxymyoglobin :O2 High O2 tension (70–80 mm Hg). Fe++ Bright red/bright pink
O2 is covalently bound to Fe++
Metmyoglobin — Low O2 tension (∼10 mm Hg). An Fe+++ Brown/grey
electron is lost from Fe++
Carboxymyoglobin CO: CO is preferentially bound to Fe++ Fe++ Bright red
(compared to O2). Stable during
