Abstract
The kinetics and thermodynamics of enthalpy and conformational volume changes related to photo-dissociations of bovine oxide-hemoglobins has been investigated by ns pulsed photoacoustic method. The enthalpy and volume changes associated with the photo-dissociation are obtained as 35.7±3 Kcal/mol and 4.8±1 mL/mol respectively. The results are close to those of oxide-hemoglobins of human, but quite different with the values of carbon-monoxide-hemoglobins of human, and some discussions are given.
