Abstract

The dissociation of human carboxyhemoglobin has been investigated by means of sedimentation velocity measurements. Sedimentation studies on this protein have been extended to concentrations as low as 0.002% by the use of absorption optics. Hemoglobin was observed to dissociate increasingly as the pH was changed from 7 to 5. Apparent dissociation constants at each pH have been calculated. Values of the apparent specific volume of human carboxyhemoglobin have been found.
