title: [Thermodynamic analysis of saturation degree of O2 in myoglobin and hemoglobin].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the saturation degree of O2 in myoglobin and hemoglobin.
  
  
  METHODS
  Analysis is based on thermodynamic concepts such as Gibbs free energy, entropy, internal energy and so on.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The analytical result were consistent with the results of experiments and analysis made by other authors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The thermodynamic method is feasible in analysing O2 saturation degree in myoglobin and hemoglobin.
