Enhanced transport of oxygen in a Millipore filter containing a solution of hemoglobin can be accounted for by the diffusion of free oxygen as well as of hemoglobin-bound oxygen. A model shows that, at oxygen tensions at which the hemoglobin is fully saturated in a portion of the membrane, the enhanced transport is due to a steeper gradient for free oxygen, whereas in the rest of the membrane an "(oxy)hemoglobin shuttle" operates. A similar model may be useful for explaining facilitated diffusion in other systems.
在含有血红蛋白溶液的微孔滤膜中,氧气传输的增强可归因于游离氧以及与血红蛋白结合的氧的扩散。一个模型表明,在膜的一部分中血红蛋白完全饱和的氧分压下,传输增强是由于游离氧的梯度更陡,而在膜的其余部分,一个“(氧合)血红蛋白穿梭”机制在起作用。类似的模型可能有助于解释其他系统中的易化扩散。
