Magnetic properties and structure of oxyhemoglobin.
Abstract
A review of the published evidence reinforces the conclusion reached by Pauling and Coryell in 1936 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 22, 210-216) that oxyhemoglobin in blood or in solution at 20 degrees has zero magnetic moment and fails to support a recent contradictory suggestion based on magnetic susceptibility of frozen samples at temperatures below 250 K. Predicted values of bond lengths and bound angles for carbonmonoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin are given.
