Abstract excerpt
The kinetics of binding of O2, CO, and NO to the octameric, two-domain hemoglobins of the parasitic nematodes Pseudoterranova decipiens and Ascaris suum were determined on nanosecond and picosecond time scales using flash photolysis. The two nematode hemoglobins have very similar kinetic properties. On the picosecond time scale, they exhibit an unusual behavior in showing a geminate reaction with oxygen that is...
