Abstract

Philogenetic characteristic of intramolecular mobility of hemoglobin's electrophoretically homogeneous fractions in vertebrate line has been studied by NMR-relaxation methods. The correlation of intramolecular mobility and affinity to oxygen of hemoglobins fractions has been determined. A regular increase of hemoglobins intramolecular mobility and decrease of hemoglobins affinity to oxygen have been shown in philogenetic process.
