[Fractional composition and various properties of animal hemoglobin].

Hemoglobin of cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits, dogs and rats was studied with respect to its fractional composition, resistance to the alkali action and ability to oxidation. It contains two-six fractions. The time of protein complete denaturation is rather constant for animals of the same type. It is different and may be considered as one of the species characters. The hemoglobin oxidation rate in animals depends directly on the content of acid-resistant hemoglobin, the higher content, the higher oxidation rate.
