Source of residual Bohr effect in hemoglobin oxidation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hemoglobin oxidation Bohr effect is larger than the ligation Bohr effect, even when the former is corrected for any ionization of the water molecule bound to the ferric iron of methemoglobin. This residual oxidation Bohr effect is here shown to be solely caused by the influence of the positively charged ferriheme, and is abolished when the oxidized heme binds an anion. This result frees the formal equivalence of hemoglobin ligation and oxidation from the last apparent experimental discrepancy.

In its narrower sense the term Bohr effect is used to describe the interaction between oxygen and proton as they combine with hemoglobin and other respiratory proteins. It may, however, be legitimately extended to include the interaction of proton with any ligand in any of these proteins. It is in this larger sense that we use the term in this paper to refer to the effects of pH on the oxidatio...
متن کاملSTUDY OF THE EFFECT OF RESIDUAL CHLORINE ON SERUM IRON AND RELATED PARAMETERS
The major purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of different concentrations of residual chlorine on serum iron related parameters in rats. Feeding male rats with water containing 80 ppm of residual chlorine daily for 5 days reduced serum levels of ceruloplasmin, copper, iron and hemoglobin by approximately 27%,23%,6% and 4%, respectively. Higher reductions in serum ...
متن کاملStudies on the Bohr Effect of Sheep Hemoglobin
A simple method is described for the measurement of pH changes in hemoglobin solutions on oxygenation and reduction. Data are presented establishing the absence of a Bohr effect in p-chloromercuribenzoate [PCMB] treated hemoglobin. The influence of a number of sulfhydryl inhibitors on the Bohr effect of a hemoglobin solution is reported and an interpretation based on steric factors in the prote...
متن کاملThe Chemistry of the Bohr Effect I. THE REACTION OF N-ETHYL MALEIMIDE WITH THE OXYGEN-LINKED ACID GROUPS OF HEMOGLOBIN*
One of the most intriguing phenomena associated with the function of hemoglobin is the reversible dissociation of protons which accompanies its oxygenation (2-4). This oxygen-linked ionization, which is commonly referred to as the Bohr effect, results in the liberation of about 2.7 protons per mole when human hemoglobin is oxygenated at physiological pH. Moreover, a “reverse Bohr effect” occurs...

Functional properties of hemoglobin Mrwate (01~~7 Tyr&A) were studied with particular reference to their relations with the structure of this abnormal hemoglobin. 1. The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Mrwate (in reality the /3 subunits) was far lower than that of hemoglobin A, and the interaction constant n in oxygen equilibrium was 1.0 at any pH. Apparently no Bohr effect was observed in the pH...
