Abstract

The energy of interaction is developed for three of the models applied to the action of hemoglobin. Evaluation of an energy of interaction requires a model defining the unperturbed or statistical process from which the real system is derived. The shape of a ligand binding curve by itself does not yield an energy of interaction since a steepened ligand binding curve may result from either a negative or positive energy of interaction.
