Fig. 2. O2 equilibria of (A) Hb I and (B) Hb II of Symenchelis
parasitica measured in 0.1 mol l-1 Hepes buffer at pH 7.2 in
the absence of added anions (circles) and in the presence of either 0.1 mol
l-1 Cl- (triangles) or 0.1 mol l-1
Cl- + saturating ATP concentration (ATP/tetrameric Hb ratio
>100; diamonds), illustrating a large ATP effect and no Cl-
effect on Hb I and distinct effects of both effectors on Hb II. Heme
concentrations were 0.10 mmol l-1 (Hb I) and 0.05 mmol
l-1 (Hb II). (7.50 Torr=1 kPa.)
