โฆ Synopsis
Fluid charged lipid vesicles loaded with an inositol hexaphosphate solution were used to transport this allosteric effector into human intact red blood cells. Rate and extent of uptake of the vesicles and of the effector by the red blood cells were measured as changes in the O2 half-saturation pressure and the 31P-NMR spectra of the intracellular inositol hexaphosphate-haemoglobin complex.

Incorporation of IHP into red cells decreases oxygen affinity as a result of the binding of this compound to the 2,3-DPG site of hemoglobin. This investigation describes a continuous-flow method which utilizes the osmotic pulse technique to transport I H P into RBC. Using this procedure, it is possi
It has been found that human red cell ghosts react differently in the presence of various sugars in the medium. The stability of spheric ghosts is preserved in solutions of sugars entering red cells by means of the common carrier. In media of other sugars the ghosts' shapes change to shrunken, crena
