Oxygen affinity decreases when water activity increases, indicating that water molecules stabilize the low-affinity,oligomeric state of the hemoglobin. This effect is opposite...

...F. Lallier; J. P. Truchot ABSTRACT The addition of either L-lactate or urate to dialysed haemolymph from the prawn Penaeus japonicus (Bate) increased the in vitro haemocyanin oxygen affinity. The quantitative values of these two effects, expressed as ΔlogP 50 / Δlog[effector], were found to be −0...
