Functional Properties of Hemoglobin Zurich

The Functional Properties of Hemoglobin Bethesda

Hemoglobin Bethesda is a /3 chain variant of human hemoglobin in which histidine is substituted for tyrosine at position 145. From chemical and crystallographic studies, it has been postulated that the tyrosine normally found at this position is critical for the maintaince of a normal deoxy structure. Kinetic studies of the carbon monoxide and Rbutyl isocyanide binding reactions show that deoxy...

Mineral trioxide aggregate is a recently introduced dental material. It may be used to seal perforations, make retrograde fillings in root-end resections, seal open apices, or cap vital pulps. In this review of the literature, physical, chemical, and biologic properties of MTA are discussed. Studies have suggested that MTA provides a better seal than formerly used materials such as IRM, amalgam...

Functional properties of the three hemoglobin phenotypes of Nelore cattle

Blood and stripped hemoglobin from Nelore cattle individuals were submitted to oxygen equilibrium experiments in both gasometric and spectrophotometric methods. No difference was detected in oxygen affinity and Bohr effect among Hb A, Hb B and Hb AB in experiments with both blood and stripped hemoglobin, in the presence and absence of the chloride ion. However, n values (Hill plots) were higher...
