Histidine proton resonances of carbonmonoxyhaemoglobins A and Cowtown in chloride-free buffer

J Mol Biol. 1987 May 20;195(2):453-5. doi: 10.1016/0022-2836(87)90666-8.

Abstract

A re-examination of the C-2 histidine proton resonances of haemoglobins A and Cowtown (His HC3(146) beta----Leu) in chloride-free Hepes buffer has shown that all the resonances present in haemoglobin A are present in haemoglobin Cowtown, so that the pKa of His HC3(146) beta cannot be determined by nuclear magnetic resonance in this buffer.
