Calorimetric studies of oxyhemoglobin dissociation. I. Reaction of sodium dithionite with oxygen
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry(1984)
摘要
Calorimetric studies of the reduction of free oxygen in solution by sodium dithionite are in agreement with a stoichiometry of 2 moles Na2S2O4 per mole of oxygen. The reaction is biphasic with ΔHt - 118±7 kcal mol−1 (−494 ± 29 kJ mol−1). The initial phase of the reaction proceeds with an enthalpy change of ca −20 kcal (−84 kJ) and occurs when 0.5 moles of dithionite have been added per mole dioxygen present. This could be interpreted as the enthalpy change for the addition of a single electron to form the superoxide anion. Further reduction of the oxygen to water by one or more additional steps is accompanied by an enthalpy change of ca −100 kcal (−418. 5 kJ). Neither of these reductive phases is consistent with the formation of hydrogen peroxide as an intermediate. The reduction of hydrogen peroxide by dithionite in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.15, is a much slower process and with an enthalpy change of ca − 74 kcal mol−1 (−314 kJ mol−1). Dissociation of oxyhemoglobin induced by the reduction of free oxygen tension with dithionite also shows a stoichiometry of 2 moles dithionite per mole oxygen present and an enthalpy change of ca. −101 ±9 kcal mol−1 (−423± 38 kJ mol−1). The difference in the observed enthalpies (reduction of dioxygen vs. oxyhemoglobin) has been attributed to the dissociation of oxyhemoglobin, which is 17 kcal mol−1 (71 kJ mol−1).
