Resolvability of Adair constants from oxygenation curves measured at low hemoglobin concentration. 1977

M L Johnson, and G K Ackers

Analyses of low concentration oxygenation curves for apparent Adair constants in which the effects of dimers is ignored have been explored using recently determined values of the overall energy coupling parameters. For high affinity systems and favorable energy distributions, it is found that the errors in estimated binding free energies may be less than one kcal provided the measurement errors are strictly random and of small magnitude. These errors are nevertheless quite substantial as compared with the differences between values for the successive binding steps.
