The binding of CO2 to human hemoglobin.

CO2-dissociation curves of concentrated human deoxy- and carbonmonoxyhemoglobin at 37 degrees, pH 7.6 to 7.0, PCO2 equal to 10 to 160 mm Hg, have been obtained by a rapid mixing and ion exchange technique. The CO2-dissociation curves for deoxyhemogloblin can only be fitted by assuming two classes of binding sites for carbon dioxide. The simplest way to account for the experimental data is to assume that the alpha-amino groups of the alpha and beta chains react with carbon dioxide with affinities that differ by at least a factor of 3. No difference in reactivity with CO2 was found among the four terminal alpha-amino groups of carbonmonoxyhemoglobin.

Affinity-chromatography purification of alkaline phosphatase from calf intestine.

A crude preparation of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from calf intestinal mucosa was purified by affinity chromatography on Sepharose-bound derivatives of arsanilic acid, which was found to be a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. Three biospecific adsorbents were prepared for the chromatography, and the best results were obtained with a tyraminyl-Sepharose derivative coupled with the diazonium salt derived from 4-(p-aminophenylazo)phenylarsonic acid. Alkaline phosphatase was the only enzyme retained by the affinity column in the absence of Pi. The enzyme eluted by phosphate buffer had a specific activity of about 1200 units per mg of protein at pH 10.0, with 5.5mM-p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate.
