REACTIVITIES OF THE SULPHYDRYL GROUPS OF DOG HEMOGLOBIN
Dog hemoglobin has four sulphydryl groups at positions olfl (G18) and p93
(F9), all of which are titratable with mercurials. Only two of these, however,
react with non-mercurial sulphydryl reagents. Kinetic results indicate that the
reacting site might be the p”” (F9).
An examination of the environment of the alI1 (G18) shows that this
sulphydryl must be unreactive towards...
