Tyr) and Hb M Milwaukee 0367El 1 Val—Glu), in order to make a definite assignment of these resonances to the a and ß chains of normal human adult hemoglobin. In Hb M Boston (a2+ 02) i the iron atoms of the a chains are in the ferric state, while those in the ß chains are in the ferrous state. On the other hand, the iron atoms of the ß chains in Hb M Milwaukee (a202+) are in the ferric state, while those in the a chains are in the ferrous state. Due to the difference in the number of unpaired electrons, ferric and ferrous hyperfineshifted proton resonances occur in different regions of the spectrum. The spectrum derived from the arithmetical sum of the ferrous hyperfine-shifted proton resonances of deoxy-Hb M Boston and Hb M Milwaukee in D20, which appear be-tween 6 and 18 ppm downfield from residual HDO, is found to be essentially identical with thatof normal human adult deoxyhemoglobin. Thus, the assignment of the ferrous hyperfine-shifted proton resonances in this spectral region to the a and ß chains of normal human adult deoxyhemoglobin has been accomplished. By means of the spectral comparison of these three hemoglobins in the deoxy form, an assignment of the proximal histidine (E7) exchangeable NH resonances to the a and ß chains of normalhuman adult deoxyhemoglobin has also been established. These resonances are found re-spectively at 58.5 and 71.0 ppm downfieldfrom H20. Because of the similarity of the chemical shifts of ferrous hyperfine-shifted proton resonances, it is concluded that the ferrous heme environments of unligated Hb M Boston and Hb M Mil-waukee are similar to those of normal human adult deoxy-hemoglobin. On the other hand, the ferric hyperfine-shifted proton resonances of Hb M Boston and Hb M Milwaukee are found to be different from those of normal human adult methemoglobin. The results suggest that the detailed environments of the ferric hemes in these hemoglobins are dif-ferent. e proton nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) 1 spectra of hemoglobin (Hb) in the deoxy and met forms show several characteristic resonances which are remote from the majority of diamagnetic resonances. They arise from the hyperfine interactions between the unpaired electrons of the iron atoms f From the Department of Biological Sciences, Mellon College of Science, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania15213.

There are two types of hyperfine-shifted resonances, Fermi contactand pseudocontact shifted resonances.[For a recent discussion on hyperfine-shifted proton resonances in heme proteins, see Ho et al.(1978) and the references cited therein.] These resonances are sen-sitive to the conformation of the heme groups andto the electronic spin state of the iron atoms (Kurland et al., 1968; Lindstrom et al., 1972; Ho et al., 1973, 1978; Fung et al., 1976, 1977; Viggiano & Ho, 1979; Viggiano et al., 1979).
