The bidirectional effect of vanadyl ion on the oxygen affinity of human hemoglobin.
The bidirectional effects of vanadyl on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin depend on the mole ratio of vanadyl to Hb(R). In low R, the vanadyl ion increases Hb's oxygen affinity due to DPG hydrolysis. The lowered oxygen affinity in higher R is mainly due to the reactive-oxygen-species, probably superoxide, induced oxidation of Fe(II)-Hb to Fe(III)-Hb. The conformation change due to vanadyl binding contribute also to the lowered oxygen binding, but is monotonously decreasing with increasing of R values.
