Expression of cooperative oxygen binding at subunit level in earthworm erythrocruorin

Models for Cooperative Oxygen Binding in Hemoglobin

Equilibrium measurements of oxygen binding by 0 iron(II) and cobalt(II) picket fence porphyrins exhibit p^2, ΔΗ°, and AS° values close to those of myoglobin and cobalt myoglobin respectively. In contrast the CO affinities of simple iron(II) porphyrins are much greater than those of the hemoproteins, hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb). This difference is apparently caused by distal residues in H...

A cooperative oxygen-binding hemoglobin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Two putative hemoglobin genes, glbN and glbO, were recently discovered in the complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Here, we show that the glbN gene encodes a dimeric hemoglobin (HbN) that binds oxygen cooperatively with very high affinity (P(50) = 0.013 mmHg at 20 degrees C) because of a fast combination (25 microM(-1).s(-1)) and a slow dissociation (0.2 s(-1)) rate. Re...

Expression of Recombinant Protein B Subunit Pili from Vibrio Cholera

Background & Aims: Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes cholera disease. Following ingestion by a host and entry into the upper intestine, V. cholera colonizes and begins to emit enterotoxin. One of the most pathogenic factors of Vibrio cholera is toxin-coregulated pili (TCP). ToxinCoregulated pili is as the primary factor requiered for the colonization and insisten...

the role of application of dynamic assessment approach in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels

the present study sought to investigate the role of dynamic assessment (da) in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels. to this end, after conducting the quick placement test, 60 iranian efl learners were assigned to two groups with different language proficiency levels. in both groups each participant wrote two compositions, one before and one af...
