The equilibrium constant of the reaction of 5,5â²-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) with the CysF9[93]β sulfhydryl group of hemoglobin decreases by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude between pH 5.6 and 9. The reaction is coupled to the ionizations of two groups on the protein. At 25 °C one group has a pKa of 5.31 ± 0.2 when hemoglobin is in its (tertiary) r conformation, typified by the thiolate anion form of CysF9[93]β; this changes to 7.73 ± 0.4 in the (tertiary) t conformation, typified by the mixed disulfide form of the sulfhydryl. The second group ionizes with a pKa of 7.11 ± 0.4 in the r conformation; this changes to 8.38 ± 0.2 in the t conformation. Krt, the equilibrium constant for the r ââ t isomerization process, is 0.22 ± 0.06. The standard enthalpy and entropy changes for the isomerization are ÎHort = 24.2 kJ molâ 1 and ÎSort = 68.8 JKâ 1molâ 1, respectively.
