Nn. Kruk et al., Kinetic parameters of human hemoglobin oxygenation reaction in presence offluorescent probe 1,8-anilino-naphthalene sulfonate, DAN BELARUS, 43(2), 1999, pp. 72-74
Optical time-resolved spectroscopy has been applied to study oxyhemoglobin
dissociation and the subsequent oxygen rebinding with heme iron. It has bee
n shown that the fluorescent probe 1,8-ANS probe does not change the kineti
c parameters of the hemoglobin oxygenation and therefore it can be used to
investigate dynamics of conformational changes in this transport protein.
