Abstract
The photolysis of HbO2 and HbCO has been investigated with picosecond laser techniques. Transient absorption spectra were measured in the Soret and visible regions after excitation with 353- or 530-nm pulses. The photoproducts appeared within 8 psec and exhibited considerably broadened deoxyhemoglobin-like spectra, which persisted to 680 psec. The altered spectra are attributed to the production of deoxyheme conformational and spin states that might result from the intense excitation.Entities:
