Y. Cheng et al., STUDIES ON KINETICS OF REACTION BETWEEN TB3-FLOW FLUOROMETRY( AND HUMAN OXYHEMOGLOBIN BY STOPPED), Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 19(6), 1998, pp. 876-878
The kinetics of reaction between Tb3+ and human oxyhemoglobin was inve
stigated by means of stopped-flow fluorometry, The Tb3+ ions quenched
the intrinsic fluorescence of oxyhemoglobin within the first 100 ms. T
he rate constant of the reaction at various temperature and activation
parameters were obtained. The results indicate that Tb3+ binding to o
xyhemoglobin is attributed to the second order reaction. The mechanism
of the reaction was explored.
