Determination of the carbon monoxide binding constants of myoglobin mutants: comparison of kinetic and equilibrium methods.

Abstract excerpt

The carbon monoxide (CO) binding constants of human myoglobin (Mb) and several single-site mutants have been determined using two different methods. In the kinetic method, which is commonly used for this ligand, the overall association (k(on)) and dissociation (k(off)) rates of CO were measured by flash photolysis and NO replacement, respectively, and the ratio k(on)/k(off) was calculated. In the equilibrium...
