Cooperativity in O2 binding to iron porphyrins. 1978

J P Collman, and J I Brauman, and E Rose, and K S Suslick

The solid-gas O2 binding equilibrium has been studied for for ferrous "picket fence" porphyrinates with sterically hindered axial imidazoles. Such systems show significant cooperativity in their binding of O2: at low O2 pressures a low O2 affinity form exists, and at high O2 pressures a higher O2 affinity form develops. Direct analogies are drawn to the cooperativity shown in O2 binding by hemoglobin. These model systems mimic hemoglobin quantitatively.

D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010108 Oxyhemoglobins A compound formed by the combination of hemoglobin and oxygen. It is a complex in which the oxygen is bound directly to the iron without causing a change from the ferrous to the ferric state. Oxycobalt Hemoglobin,Oxycobalthemoglobin,Oxyhemoglobin,Hemoglobin, Oxycobalt
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin
