Abstract excerpt
Double mixing stopped-flow experiments have been performed to study the stability of asymmetric hemoglobin (Hb) hybrids, consisting of a deoxy and a liganded dimer. The doubly liganded [deoxy/cyano-met] hybrid (species 21) was reported to have an enhanced stability, with tetramer to dimer dissociation requiring over 100 seconds, based on a method that required an incubation of over two days. However, kinetic...
