Differences in iron-fluoride bonding between the isolated subunits of human methemoglobin fluoride and sperm whale metmyoglobin fluoride as measured by resonance Raman spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The data are interpreted to indicate that the effect of the R leads to T conversion in HbIIIF is to perturb heme macrocycle conformation without altering the heme out-of-plane iron distance or the Fe-F bond length.

Circular dichroism and spin-label studies of carp hemoglobin

TL;DR: In this paper, a circular dichroism (c.d.) spectra was obtained for deoxy, oxy, carboxy, nitrosyl, aquomet and azidomet derivatives of carp hemoglobin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic phosphate-binding groups electrostatically linked to the reactivity of the Cys F9 [93]β sulfhydryl group of haemoglobin

TL;DR: The complex pH-dependence profile of stripped haemoglobin quantitatively is analysed quantitatively by assuming that there is an electrostatic interaction between the sulfhydryl and the cationic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cooperative interaction of aniline with methemoglobin.

TL;DR: The observed spectral changes relfected conversion of high-spin aquomethemoglobin to the low-spin aniline complex and indicated that anilines bound cooperatively, which is unusual, since most ligand-methemoglobin interactions show n = 1.2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical redox and allosteric aspects of nitric oxide interactions with hemoglobin.

TL;DR: Recent reports concerning the redox and allosteric aspects of NO/Hb interactions that have advanced the authors' understanding of the physiological significance of NO binding to heme groups and of reactions promoting formation of S-nitrosated Hb (SNO-Hb).

X-ray diffraction study of binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to human deoxyhaemoglobin.

TL;DR: DPG has a two-fold effect on human deoxyhaemoglobin: it both stabilizes and slightly distorts the S form, and may therefore affect the solubility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature of Haem–Haem Interaction

TL;DR: Dr Perutz describes how spin changes that accompany reaction with ligands alter the oxygen affinity of the haems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interaction of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate with various human hemoglobins

TL;DR: Results suggest that the N-terminal amino groups of the non-α-chains are involved in the binding of 2,3-DPG to hemoglobin.
