Hemocyanin Raman study

This finding suggested that oxygen is indispensable to the formation of the purple hemocyanin, and prompted us to carry out a Raman study on the purple hemocyanin to explore the binding mode of oxygen. 

X 10 s 38 = 1.8 X 10 s. Even in the absence of cooperative phenomena, 08 binding by hemocyanin involves a minimum of two elementary steps, and this finding might be correlated with the presence of two metal atoms in each site. Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the nature of the co-ordination of iron in clostridial rubredoxin, and e.s.r. and Mossbauer spectroscopy have been used to study the non-haem iron proteins cysteamine oxygenase and adrenodoxin. ...
