Pseudo-Allosteric Effect of Poly L-lysine Heme Complex

Pseudo-Allosteric Effect of Poly(L-lysine)-Heme Complex 

It is well known that hemoglobin effectively absorbs molecular oxygen in the lungs and desorbs it in the terminal tissue although there is only a small difference in the partial pressure of oxygen. This phenomenon is clearly demonstrated by Fig. 23. 

As described in Section IIB, the heme complex illustrated in Fig. 4(b) is formed with poly(L-lysine)(PLL). The fifth and sixth coordination positions of the heme iron are occupied by the primary amines on the side chain of the PLL ligand, which 

The cooperative parameter based on Hill s equation3 was determined and the results are listed in Table 11107 108 The cooperative parameter (r) of the PLL-
