Abstract The dissociation of normal and carboxypeptidase-digested human hemoglobin has been studied by gel filtration under several experimental conditions. These include (a) different derivatives, notably deoxy-, oxy-, and CO-hemoglobin, (b) changes in solvent composition and in pH, and (c) addition of inositol hexaphosphate. In normal hemoglobin, in agreement with previous results, the deoxygenated derivative is much less dissociated than the oxy or CO ones. This difference is observed also in some of the digested hemoglobins, but tends to vanish in those proteins in which, as a result of extensive digestion, the conformational change accompanying ligand binding is abolished. The dissociation of normal and digested hemoglobins is affected by solvent composition, is at a minimum at pH near 8, and is decreased by the addition of inositol hexaphosphate. Parallel flash photolysis experiments, performed under conditions identical with those used in the gel filtration studies, indicate that the appearance of quickly reacting material parallels dissociation into dimers in normal hemoglobin. Both in normal and digested hemoglobins conditions which decrease dissociation decrease the fraction of rapidly reacting material. In the digested hemoglobins the fraction of rapidly reacting material may be much higher than can be accounted for by the amount of dimers, indicating in these cases that the tetramers may be rapidly reacting. The data point once again to the critical role of the COOH-terminal residues in maintaining the subunit structure of hemoglobin and the interaction effects associated with it.
