[Properties of hemoglobin in ozone-exposed hemolysates of erythrocytes]

The objective of the paper was to investigate the changes in haemoglobin properties under the influence of ozone on haemolysates of erythrocytes. The detailed analysis of experiments permitted to draw the following conclusions: 1. Haemoglobin in the presence of ozone is transformed into methaemoglobin in a biphasic process. 2. In ozone exposed haemolysates of erythrocytes the haemoglobin had other properties: an increase in affinity for oxygen and a decrease of the hem-hem interaction coefficient.
