[Effect of diethylstilbestrol on conformation of the hemoglobin molecule]

The paper deals with the results obtained while measuring the surface presssure of hemoglobin monolayers containing diethylstilbestrol. It is shown that insignificant additions of diethylstilbestrol change the shape of the surface hemoglobin pressure isoterm. The addition of diethylstilbestrol to hemoglobin causes a considerable increase in the limiting value of the area corresponding to the substance mass unit in the monolayer. The time passed from the moment of components mixing till deposing the substance upon the interphase affects the value of the area.
