The rate of oxygen uptake by human red blood cells.
JT Coin, JS Olson - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1979 - ASBMB
Oxygen uptake into intact and reconstituted human red blood cells was measured using
dual wavelength, stopped flow techniques. The rate of oxygen uptake by human
erythrocytes is roughly 40 times slower (t 1/2 congruent to 80 ms at 0.125 mM O2, 25
degrees C) than the corresponding rate of oxygen combination with free hemoglobin.
Oxygen transport through the red cell cytoplasm accounts for part of this difference and
predicts a half-time of uptake of about 15 ms, which is still 5 times smaller than that observed …
