Equilibrium Studies of the Reaction of Turkey (Maleagris gallopavo) Haemoglobin Sulphydryl Groups with 5, 5’-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate): Tertiary Conformational Change in Turkey Induced by Inositol Hexakisphosphate.
The red blood cell of turkey contains two haemoglobin types, major and minor components. In the present study, the equilibrium constant, Kequ, for the reaction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate), DTNB, with the sulphydryl group of the major turkey aquomethaemoglobin was determined at 25°C as a function of pH. Kequ varies by about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude between pH 5.6 and 9.0 for both...
