Myoglobin 352 Subject

There has been extensive work done on myoglobin, haemoglobin, Cytocln-ome-c, rhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin. In fact, there are literally hundreds of articles on each of the above subjects. Flere we will consider haemoglobin [12]. The first tliree of these examples are based on the protohaeme unit, shown in figure Bl.2.10. 

Figure 7. Release profile from sonicated capsules. Samples that were to be treated with sonic energy were placed in the polypropylene cages and immersed in 10 ml of physiological saline in scintillation vials. The vials were subjected to 3 minutes of sonication at 4 C in a sonic bath. The capsules were then transferred to fresh buffer and the release of myoglobin was followed (- -) and compared with release from capsules containing free myoglobin (-x-).

The myoglobin dynamics near 200 K have been the subject of considerable investigation. There have been many experiments show a... 

Special interest attaches to the titration of sperm whale myoglobin because the three-dimensional structure of this protein is well on the way to being completely elucidated (Kendrew ei al., 1961). The speculative structural features, which have been invoked to explain titration data that do not conform to expectation, will in this protein soon be subject to actual test.
