1 A model of a protein molecule— myoglobin, a protein present in 

 muscle and other tissues, which serves as an oxygen store. Poly- 

 peptide chains are white; the grey disc is the haem group. The small 

 spheres are marker atoms attached to the molecule. Marks on the 

 scale are 1 Angstrom Unit (10-« cm.) apart. (Photograph by Dr J.
