Temperature-jump method for determining the equilibrium constant of the iron spin states in human methaemoglobin A

TL;DR: Results obtained show that chemical modification with cystamine increases the binding affinity of methaemoglobin, and perturbs the spin equilibrium, which validates the temperature-jump method for Kspin determination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand-induced conformational changes in spin labelmodified human hemoglobins and chains and their carboxypeptidase A-digested derivatives

TL;DR: Findings support the premise that the COOH-terminal end of the beta or gamma chain contributes, although possibly to different extents, to the spectral differences exhibited by both the spin-labeled hemoglobins and chains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unusual temperature dependence of electron transfer rates in the hemoglobin reductase system

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of electron transfer between the proteins metHb (III) (human) and cytochrome b 5su(II) (rat) was studied as a function of temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of NADH-methemoglobin reductase by organic phosphates.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the interaction of the organic phosphate with the enzyme as well as with the substrate is significant in determining the overall rate of methemoglobin reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Change in surface properties of hemoglobin induced by heme reaction with O2 and CO

TL;DR: In this paper , the surface properties of hemoglobin bound to O2 (HbO2) or CO(HbCO) were investigated by ethanol precipitation, particle size analysis, and ζ potential measurements.

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.
