The dielectric properties of horse hemoglobin have been investigated in the frequency range for 100 kcps to 15 Mcps at varying degrees of oxygenation. A linear dependence of the specific increment on the degree of oxygenation wae found under a variety of experimental conditions, the increment of oxy

β¦ Synopsis
Dielectric properties of human and horse hemoglobin were studied at frequencies ranging from 20 kc./sec. to 7 illc./sec. The relative errors in the measurements were usually less thaii
The experimental setup allowed ns variation and measurement of the degree of oxygenation of the protein and to determine its dielectric parameters. Our main conclusion is that it was not possible to find any variation of the dielectric increment for hemoglobin oxygenation levels of 25, 50,75, and loo%, approximately. This result is a t variance with some previous reports.
We cannot give the reason for this discrepancy but discuss some possible explanations. The specific dielectric increment, Ae,/c, of human hemoglobin was shown to be significantly smaller than that of horse hemoglobin (0.28 against 0.32). This physical property is lowered with increasing ionic strength I: Ae,/c = 0.28 and 0.20 for I = and lov3, respectively (human protein). even for mildly conducting solutions (lO-3M KCI).

The acoustical relaxation spectrum of aqueous solutions of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin solutions was investigated in the frequency range 0.5-1000 MHz. The abrupt high-frequency cut-off of the broad absorption spectrum is consistent with a heavily weighted, shortest relaxation time of 2 X

This paper is concerned with the molecular origin of the dipole moment of sperm whale myoglobin as it can be calculated from the dielectric dispersion at 1 Mcps on the basis of a mechanism of orientational polarization. It was possible to compare the dielectric increment of native myoglobin and its
In the caption of Fig. 4 (p. 1983), the third line should read "dielectric constant values at 21.8"C" instead of "dielectric constant values at 20Β°C."
