Abstract excerpt
Human oxyhemoglobin assembly was evaluated in the Soret region by rapidly mixing normal and carboxypeptidase-digested chains (1-10 x 10(-6) M, heme basis) in 0.1 M Tris-HCl, 0.1 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, at 21.5 degrees C. Rate constants of 1.14 (+/- 0.09) and 2.11 (+/- 0.06) x 10(5) M-1 S-1 wer...
