 Kendrew’s studies of the globular myoglobin structure demonstrated that:

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. “corners” between a-helical regions invariably lacked proline residue.

  2. highly polar or charged amino acid residues tended to be located interiorally.

  3. myoglobin was completely different from hemoglobin, as expected.

  4. the structure was very compact, with virtually no internal space available for water.
