title: In vivo hemoglobin allotropy in magnetic field.
abstract: The mean magnetic moment of hem as determined in 136 blood samples from different dogs was 5.35 Bohr magneton. The individual magnetic moments varied from 4.9 to 6.7 Bohr magneton. These data are explained by the presence of hem two forms with magnetic moments of 4.9 and 6.9 Bohr magneton, respectively, in the blood. It is suggested that hem with the higher magnetic moment is able to bind two oxygen molecules with the formation of bioxyhem.
