RESUMO
The affinity constants for the binding of NADPH to human hemoglobin A were directly determined by fluorescence analyssis since nucleotide fluorescence is quenched on binding to the protein. The binding constants 6.1 x 10**5, 5.02 x 10**5 and 1.2 x 10**5 were found for deosyhemoglobin at pH 6.5, 7.0,respectively. Oxyhemoglobin does not bind NADPH significantly. These results are consistent with those found in oxygen-hemoglobin equilibrium experiments. The human hemoglobin variant, Providence-Asp, which has a marked decrease in 2,3 DPG affinity was also investigated. NADPH does not bind to the variant suggesting that the Lys B 82 residues is of fundamental importance to nucleotide binding and showing that the binding site is the same as that of 2,3 DPG or other organic polyphosphate, aloosteric modulators of hemoglobins. Experiments of inositol hexaphosphate (IHP)-NADPH site competition corroborate these results
