Picosecond photodissociation and subsequent recombination processes in carbon monoxide hemoglobin.
Excitation of HbCO by a single 6-psec 530-nm pulse results in photodissociation with a first-order constant of 0.89 X 10(11) sec-1. The kinetics of photodissociation, monitored by following absorbance changes in the Soret band at 440 nm, are interpreted as corresponding to predissociation followed by a corssing into a dissociative state. Subsequent recombination of CO with the porphyrin system ...
متن کاملMathematical models of the uptake of carbon monoxide on hemoglobin at low carbon monoxide levels.
Coburn's differential equation for the uptake of carbon monoxide by hemoglobin and two particular types of solution of this equation were considered and the solutions verified for a group of healthy adults consisting of 73 nonsmoking pedestrians or car passengers exposed to low levels of carbon monoxide as experienced in the city of Lyon. The CO levels at the breathing level and the walking spe...
متن کاملA Carbon Monoxide Sensing Film Based on Hemoglobin Allostery
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gaseous mediator, which is generated via anenzymatic reaction of heme oxygenase, and it plays physiological roles in regulating cellular respiration and blood flow in the liver. The concentration and distribution of CO molecules in the living body is unknown owing to a lack of a suitable technique for measuring them in vivo. A needle-type CO sensor has been used for bi...
متن کاملAn assessment on dispersion of carbon monoxide from acement factory
Background: Modeling the dispersion of pollutants from factory stacks addresses the problem of matching emissions of a cement plant with the capacity of the environment to avoid affecting the environment and society. The main objective of this study was to simulate the dispersion of carbon monoxide (CO) from the main stack of a cement plant in Doroud, Iran using SCREEN3 software developed by th...
متن کاملElectrical resistance: an atomistic view
This tutorial article presents a ‘bottom-up’ view of electrical resistance starting from something really small, like a molecule, and then discussing the issues that arise as we move to bigger conductors. Remarkably, no serious quantum mechanics is needed to understand electrical conduction through something really small, except for unusual things like the Kondo effect that are seen only for a ...
