Structure of cyanide methemoglobin.

TL;DR: This and other studies suggest that the structural changes responsible for co-operativity in hemoglobin may be initiated not merely by an alteration in the covalent porphyrin-proximal histidine linkage, but by changes in the noncovalent interactions of the globin with the ligand and porphyrsin as well.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structural model for the kinetic behavior of hemoglobin.

TL;DR: The tertiary structures of all liganded hemoglobins in the R state differ in detail, and structural interpretation of this kinetic behavior indicates that the relative contributions of nonbonded ligand-globin interactions and nonbonding heme interactions to transition state free energies differ for linear and bent ligands.

Sulfhemoglobinemia. Clinical and molecular aspects.

TL;DR: A propos d'une observation: femme de 33 ans prenant depuis 8 ans des doses elevees de produits multiples (amphetamine, barbiturique, propoxyphene, phenacetine, cafeine, Alkaseltzer), Diagnostic provisoire de methanoglobinemie.

Conformation and spin state in methemoglobin.

TL;DR: The properties of human methemoglobin have been investigated under a wide variety of conditions to determine its conformation and to test for evidence of the T state conformation which has been proposed by Perutz to exist in the presence of high spin ligands and inositol hexaphosphate (IHP).

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.
