Cat hemoglobin: pH-dependent cooperativity of oxygen binding |
|
| Authors: | M N Hamilton S J Edelstein |
| Abstract: | Cat hemoglobin has a lower cooperativity and oxygen affinity than most mammalian hemoglobins. In contrast to the usual invariance of cooperativity with pH, a rise in cooperativity with pH is predicted by the allosteric model for low-affinity hemoglobins. Such a pH-dependent cooperativity for cat hemoglobin has been found. |
