      Three Dimensional Fourier Synthesis of Horse Deoxyhaemoglobin at 2.8 Å Resolution
      THE deoxyhaemoglobin of horse forms orthorhombic crystals with the space group C2221 and four molecules in the unit cell, which lie on two-fold symmetry axes. A Fourier synthesis at 5.5 Å resolution… Expand
      Neutron small-angle scattering from aqueous solutions of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin.
      Abstract The neutron small-angle scattering of human haemoglobin in aqueous solution was measured. Oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin were found to differ in radius of gyration.

      TLDR
      The structure of Haemoglobin and its role in Oxygen Equilibrium and Factors Aficting the oxygen Equilibrium are described. Expand
      Structure and function of haemoglobin: IV. A three-dimensional Fourier synthesis of horse deoxyhaemoglobin at 5.5 Å resolution
      hkl reflexions from crystals of native human deoxyhaemoglobin and from four isomorphous heavy-atom derivatives have been recorded photographically. The “best” phase angles have been calculated from… Expand
      Structure and cooperativity of haemoglobin
      Tertiary and quaternary structural changes in haemoglobin are coupled in a way that suggests an underlying two-state allosteric mechanism for its cooperative ligand binding.

      TLDR
      Electron density maps show the α haems to undergo autoxidation more readily than theβ haems, just as the β haems were reduced more easily than theα haems in BME-haemoglobin. Expand
      Intracellular Organic Phosphates as Regulators of Oxygen Release by Haemoglobin
      TLDR
      2,3-Diphosphoglycerate is present in the red cells of many species at about equimolar concentration to haemoglobin and facilitates oxygen unloading because it is preferentially bound to deoxyhaemoglobin in the ratio of one mole per tetramer. Expand
      Structure and function of haemoglobin: I. A tentative atomic model of horse oxyhaemoglobin
      The model has been constructed by combining information from the three-dimensional Fourier syntheses of horse oxyhaemoglobin at 5·5 A and of sperm whale myoglobin at 1·4 A resolution. Between them,… Expand

      The oxidation of haemoglobin.
      TLDR
      An extension of the model of allosteric transitions to include the energy of repulsion of these charges is in good agreement with the experimental data. Expand

      The interaction of bromthymol blue with hemoglobin and its effect on the oxygen equilibrium.
      TLDR
      The characteristic difference of behaviour shown by the oxy and deoxy forms of normal hemoglobin is lacking in myoglobin and those modified forms of hemoglobin which have simple hyperbolic oxygen-equilibrium curves. Expand
      Allosteric proteins and cellular control systems.
      TLDR
      The biological activity of many proteins is controlled by specific metabolites which do not interact directly with the substrates or products of the reactions, and it is suggested that this mechanism plays an essential role in the regulation of metabolic activity. Expand
