Role of Purinergic Receptors of Erythrocytes in the Regulation of Conformation and Oxygen- and NO-Transporting Capacity of Hemoglobin

Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate changes in hemoglobin conformation and its ability to transfer O 2 and NO induced by activation of purinergic receptors of erythrocytes with extracellular ATP. It was found that addition of ATP in a final concentration of 0.1 mM and higher to erythrocyte su...

Description
Summary:Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate changes in hemoglobin conformation and its ability to transfer O 2 and NO induced by activation of purinergic receptors of erythrocytes with extracellular ATP. It was found that addition of ATP in a final concentration of 0.1 mM and higher to erythrocyte suspension was followed by changes in hematoporphyrin conformation, while addition of ATP in a concentration of 1 mM and higher increased the proportion of oxyhemoglobin and NO-associated hemoglobin complexes. In case of purinergic receptors activation in blood erythrocytes, significant changes in hemoglobin conformation were observed only at a final ATP concentration of 5 mM, probably due to buffer properties of the blood.
