Abstract
RECENTLY, we reported1 that II, the maximum pressure of bovine globin in the p-xylene/water interface, was approximately twice as high as that of bovine oxyhæmoglobin, and that addition of hæmin lowered the high interfacial pressure of globin. This surprising phenomenon was investigated more thoroughly, as described below.
