Photolysis of carbon monoxide and oxygen derivatives of hemoglobin by a short laser pulse produces a transient species that rapidly decays to normal deoxyhemoglobin. The effect, which is also observed on single chain proteins and on noncooperative aggregated forms, has been interpreted as corresponding to structural changes in the heme pocket on ligand dissociation. The decay of the transient species follows first-order kinetics with constants ranging from 0.8 to 1.8 x 10(7) sec(-1). In cooperative hemoglobins, the kinetic constants are pH-dependent, though remaining first- or pseudo first-order at all wavelengths. This shows the close linkage of tertiary and quaternary structure changes in normal hemoglobin.
短激光脉冲对血红蛋白的一氧化碳和氧衍生物进行光解会产生一种瞬态物质,该物质会迅速衰减为正常的脱氧血红蛋白。这种效应在单链蛋白质和非协同聚集形式上也能观察到,被解释为配体解离时血红素口袋结构的变化。瞬态物质的衰减遵循一级动力学,速率常数范围为0.8至1.8×10⁷秒⁻¹。在协同血红蛋白中,动力学常数依赖于pH值,尽管在所有波长下仍保持一级或准一级。这表明正常血红蛋白中三级和四级结构变化紧密相关。
