Abstract
The effect of UV-radiation (240–390 nm, 151–4530 J/m2) on structural changes in human carboxyhemoglobin is studied. Photodissociation of CO ligand from heme and conversion of hemoprotein into oxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin were accompanied by changes in spectral and electrophoretic characteristics (number, mobility, and content of fractions) of the studied hemoprotein.
