Abstract

G. dibranchiata, annelid Hemoglobin Histidine Redox potential
The trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetatoferrate(III)/(II) couple was used as a redox buffer-mediator to determine that the redox potential of the monomeric hemoglobin of Glycera dibranchiata is +0.153 ± 0.008 V at 27°C in 0.1 M (pH 7.8) phosphate. The value is similar to that for Aplysia myoglobin, which also lacks distal histidine. Correlation of E 0′ with log p 1 2 ( O 2 ) is discussed. Hexacyanoferrate(II) binds to the protein, resulting in an unusual enhancement of oxygen affinity. The binding of azide anion to the aquomet-protein has been studied by a spectropotentiostatic method and by the conventional spectrophotometric technique, and the results are interpreted in terms of an ionic dependence.
