Kinetic studies on partially liganded species of carboxyhemoglobin: (alpha 1CO-beta 1CO)alpha 2 beta 2 or (alpha 2CO
1Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093.
Kinetics of CO combination with and dissociation from isomer III, (alpha 1CO beta 1CO)alpha 2 beta 2 or alpha 1 beta 1 (alpha 2CO beta 2CO), and Hb Rothschild have been studied using the double mixing and microperoxidase methods. Isomer III was prepared in a manner so that it was the only reactive species in the reaction mixture. The biphasic reaction time course in both the "on" and "off" reactions of isomer III and the CO combination reaction of Hb Rothschild are attributed to slow relaxation between the fast and slow CO-reacting species in the two proteins: isomer III: l'f = 6 x 10(6) M-1 s-1, l'dimer = 1.7 x 10(6) M-1 s-1, l's = 2.2 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, lf = 0.15 s-1, ls = 0.01 s-1; Hb Rothschild: l'f = 2.8 x 10(6) M-1 s-1; l's = 2.7 x 10(5) M-1 s-1.
