Geminate recombination in carboxy hemoglobin A and its relation to overall carbon monoxide reactivity. 1984

B F Campbell, and D Magde, and V S Sharma

The geminate recombination of CO with carboxy hemoglobin (Hb4(CO)3) following a ten nanosecond laser pulse and the overall combination of the fourth CO with Hb4(CO)3 has been studied as a function of pH in the presence and absence of inositol hexaphosphate. The results indicate that the kinetics of both reactions are independent of pH and phosphate concentration. The results are discussed in terms of a two-step mechanism: a pre-equilibrium step followed by heme--ligand bond formation. The latter is also known as the geminate recombination reaction (Hb + CO in equilibrium Hb X CO in equilibrium HbCO).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D002248 Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Monoxide, Carbon

D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements.
