Abstract excerpt
The single residue vibrational spectra of tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues in human adult hemoglobin (HbA), which play important roles in cooperative oxygen binding, were determined for the deoxy and CO-bound forms by applying UV resonance Raman spectroscopy to various variant Hbs. It was found that Trpβ37, Tyrα42, Tyrα140, and Tyrβ145 at the α(1)-β(2) subunit interface underwent transitions between...
