Abstract
The rates of reaction of oxygen, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide with 14 plant hemoglobins have been determined by relaxation and stopped-flow methods. The combination rates for oxygen lie between 0.12 and 0.26 .times. 109 M .cntdot. s, for carbon monoxide between 0.01 and 0.07 .times. 109M .cntdot. s, and for nitric oxide between 0.12 and 0.25 .times. 109 M .cntdot. s. The dissociation velocities for oxygen range from 5 to 25/s, and for CO from 0.005 to 0.011 s. The oxygen dissociation constants range only from 36 to 78 nM. Nanosecond relaxation experiments show large differences between the proteins. Five have known primary structures which correlate closely with the nanosecond relaxations and less immediately with the millisecond reactions. The relevant amino acid substitutions are concentrated in the C-E interhelical region.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
