Abstract
Carbon monoxide binding to hemoglobins from a variety of sources has been studied by ^(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance. The two resonances have been specifically assigned to ^(13)CO bound to α or to β subunits. The reason for the anomalous shift of ^(13)CO bound to the a chain of rabbit hemoglobin is discussed with particular reference to residue Phe-48 (CD6). The relative facility with which oxygen displaces carbon monoxide, and the relative thermodynamic affinity for carbon monoxide compared to the unliganded state, of the α and β subunits are found to differ.
