Homework Statement
Homework Equations
I have question for (a) section.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have two answer for the question but I can't figure out which one is right.
(1)Since the partition function is to sum up all the state in the system, I write down the answer
(2)In other point of view, we can first find out the partition function of one O2 molecule.
(either bound or unbound)
And then, since a hemoglobin can only bind four O2 molecules, I can write down
In my opinion, I think the first solution is more accurate since I include all the situation of that system. However, I cannot persuade myself that the second solution is wrong.(Or the reason is that Z=[Z1]N can only apply to large system?)
Please help me out~ Thanks!
