摘要
The xanthine/xanthine oxidase reaction produces reproducible amounts of oxygen-derived free radicals that oxidize human oxyhemoglobin (Hb). We monitored the kinetics of the oxidation of stripped Hb (sHb), purified HbA(0) and a-a cross-linked Hb (HbXL99 alpha) at [Hb] in the 5 to 150 mu M (heme) range. For increasing [Hb], the oxidation halftime (t(1/2)) increased for all Hbs, but t(1/2) was always less for HbXL99 alpha than for HbA(0) and sHb. Such feature was attributed to the lower affinity for O-2 of HbXL99 alpha and may represent a serious problem for use of this Hb as blood substitute.
