Reexamination of the evidence for paramagnetism in oxy- and carbonmonoxyhemoglobins.

Abstract
Paramagnetism in the oxy- and carbonmonoxy derivatives of human and carp Hb was investigated. When care is taken to ensure complete saturation of the Hb with ligand and the diamagnetic contributions of all of the buffers are carefully evaluated, these Hb derivatives have the same gram susceptibilities as exhibited by a set of metal free proteins, suggesting that they are fully diamagnetic.
