Equilibrium Studies of the Reaction of Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Haemoglobin Sulphydryl Groups with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate): Tertiary conformational change in Turkey heamoglobin induced by inositol hexakisphosphate
The red blood cell of turkey contains two haemoglobin types, major and minor
components. In the present study, the equilibrium constant, Kequ, for the
reaction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2nitrobenzoate), DTNB, with the sulphydryl group of the major turkey aquomethaemoglobin was determined at 25°C as a function of pH. Kequ varies by about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude between pH 5.6 and 9.0 for both...
