Abstract: | The hemoglobin of the lung fish Clarias lazera has a single component on starch gel electrophoresis. The hemoglobin has a molar mass of c. 68,000 similar to HbA on column chromatography. Clarias hemoglobin has a high oxygen affinity with a low Bohr effect. There is a haem-haem interaction, n, which is pH dependent. The R-state is more stable than the T-state, unlike in most fish hemoglobins. |
