[Thermodynamic analysis of saturation degree of O2 in myoglobin and hemoglobin].
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.
