Abstract

The kinetics of the reaction between O2 and haemoglobin bound to haptoglobin 1–1 were investigated by the stopped-flow and temperature-jump techniques. The reaction, which follows second-order kinetics in the lower concentration range, becomes independent of O2 concentration above about 150μm-O2.
