Effect of ionizing radiation on haemoglobin: the oxy-derivative of haemoglobin Iwate

Description

These results established that the β-chain centre in Hb. Iwate behave in the same way as isolated β-chains when exposed to ionizing radiation. They also confirm that electron addition to the oxy-units is facile, even in the presence of Fe(III) units in each tetramer. The results also show that electron capture to give (FeO2)- units is not followed by internal electron-transfer to give Fe(II) from the Fe(III) centres in the α-chains. (author)
