1H NMR spectroscopy has been used to measure the proximal histidyl labile ring proton (NH) rates of exchange with bulk solvent in the individual subunits of hemoglobin (Hb) A. These protons displayed a substantial decrease in their exchange rates in comparison with related monomeric proteins and exhibited sensitivity to the quarternary state. With the beta subunit NH, the exchange behaviour was similar to an allosterically responsive subset of protons, which have been identified using 1H-3H methods (Englander, J.J., R. Rogero, and S. W. Englander, 1983, J. Mol. Biol. 169:325-344). Assuming similar exchange mechanisms for the two subunits, the NMR data suggested a more flexible alpha than beta subunit in Hb A.
1H核磁共振光谱已被用于测量血红蛋白(Hb)A各个亚基中近端组氨酸不稳定环质子(NH)与大量溶剂的交换速率。与相关单体蛋白相比,这些质子的交换速率大幅降低,并对四级结构状态敏感。对于β亚基的NH,其交换行为类似于使用1H-3H方法鉴定的质子的变构响应子集(英格兰德,J.J.,R.罗赫罗,和S.W.英格兰德,1983,《分子生物学杂志》169:325 - 344)。假设两个亚基的交换机制相似,核磁共振数据表明Hb A中的α亚基比β亚基更灵活。
