title: Allosteric effect of o-iodobenzoate on hemoglobin.
abstract: O-Iodobenzoate interacts non-covalently with hemoglobin and lowers the oxygen affinity of the protein. In contrast to 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or inositol hexaphosphate, its interaction does not depend upon the presence of free amino groups at the beta-chain amino terminals. Lysine beta82 is one of its oxygenation linked binding sites. As with the organic phosphates, the halogenated benzoate reacts preferentially with deoxy-hemoglobin to shift the allosteric equilibrium from R to T.
